You are cordially invited to join our virtual Space of Questions – a space opening up around a selected artwork which is on view in one of our current exhibitions. Do you miss a chat about art – like we do – in these times of social distancing? Log in for 75 minutes full of insights and an exchange of ideas on thought-provoking topics and questions. No preparation is needed!
Each Space of Questions (duration: 75 minutes) begins with a contextualizing introduction. It is followed by a proposal for an enquiring focus on the art work, offering an impulse for the subsequent conversation.
Currently, Shadow Citizens, the exhibition on filmmaker Želimir Žilnik and the group show Cybernetics of the Poor raise questions such as: Who benefits from stepping out of the shadows of social discrimination? Is it algorithms that shape what we perceive as happiness nowadays? What do we want to be able to control? What is human? To what extent is a “Mondrian” an “information-processing machine” – and what would be its noise? What is the touch of a film? Why do I always recognize the American president in photos?
We understand this virtual Space of Questions also as a stimulus for a visit to the exhibition, as long as we are not yet able to offer guided tours or art talks on site.
