Pop.Art.Talks

Talk
30/1 2016 — 31/1 2016 
Museumsquartier

How popular can and should art and culture be? Is the demand “culture for all” legitimate? Has contemporary art already become mainstream?

These and other provocative questions will be discussed on the last two weekends of the exhibition Political Populism in short conversations with a host of different figures from the cultural sector of Vienna. The 20 – 30 minute long, informal conversations unfold in their entirety a range of opinions and theories relating to the connections between contemporary art, the public and popular culture.

A total of up to 20 talks will be held respectively starting at 3 pm during the two weekends. The talks will be conducted by Anne Faucheret, Lucas Gehrmann, Vanessa Joan Müller and Nicolaus Schafhausen.
