KULTURZEIT: Book Presentation: Keeping Company: Contemporary Intervention Art and Its Justificatory Narratives

What contribution can and should art make to society today? What do artists who intervene in public space want to achieve, and what are they capable of?
Drawing on the triad of oikos – polis – ethos, a social regime of art is proposed as a hypothesis for diagnosing our times.

A book launch by WittenLab – the publication by Dr Aude Bertrand-Höttcke “Contributing to Society: Contemporary Intervention Art and its Justificatory Narratives” has just been published by Kulturverlag Kadmos Berlin. With the kind support of the Boehringer Ingelheim Siblings Foundation for the Humanities.
