»target: autonopop« open mic.

Tobias Still, Rahel Puffert, und Michel Chevalier open a discussion round with various non-binding topics, — including the following:

"who is the public for art? Who should the public for art be?"

"where is art ? Where should art be?"

"is ambivalence a quality when one experiences art?"

"is the selected distribution channel (artist-run space, affordable multiples, internet, commercial gallery) a part of the content of the respective artwork?"

"what if artists were not economically dependent on sales of "works", but instead were paid intervention/exhibition fees?"

"who/what prevails in the current art-market/institution synergy?"

"what would happen to art if class domination were ended?"

"true, false, or open to debate: 'Projects such as "Wir nennen es Hamburg" and "subvision" play their part in the spectacularization and depolitization of committed, grass-roots work in the art field, and thereby aid the efforts of some to undermine efforts at sustainable critical involvement.' (Cornelia Sollfrank, 1.09)"

"Culure policy = Culture Business?"

"what is a local artist?"

"can contradictions be ordered into a hierarchy?"
