Elisabeth Schweeger’s approach is cross-border. Both as curator and as theater director she is reknown as a critical voice that considers debate and experiment essential for the institutionalized art world. Together with Nicolaus Schafhausen, director of Kunsthalle Wien, she will discuss the question: State for the arts or art for the State?
