Ruth Anderwald, Leonhard Grond, Sergio Edelsztein, Jeanne Drach and Laura Brechmann create a series of podcasts that is at the same time a sound sculpture. In this way, the work can be perceived individually and portably and as an audience in a specific setting.
While recognising the important role that words and theories play in such a philosophical life, this lecture by Richard Shusterman explores experiments in practising philosophy through speechless performance art with L’homme en Or (aka the Man in Gold), who embodies the philosopher without words.
In a public conversation, the artist Jonathan Horowitz and the photographer Wolfgang Tillmans will share insights on their artistic and curatorial work. Starting from Horowitz’ exhibition We Fight to Build a Free World! at the Jewish Museum in New York, they will investigate the potential art offers to fight racism and anti-Semitism.
Extending to 'Dizziness. Navigating the Unknown' at Kunsthaus Graz, the 'Diagonale' festival shows a programme of Austrian and international short films.
How can we navigate together through states of destabilising dizziness? Can the loss of orientation provide creative momentum?
My talk explains how performance work inhabits a liminal space that blurs the boundaries between art and philosophy, art and life, self and other, intelligence and madness.
