We will be discussing the artists' works, their positions and ideas in relation to the concepts Avant-Garde and Liberation.
A key focus will be the understanding of locality. We will talk about how the artists' work relates to Vienna, the significance of the city in their creative processes, and the dynamics of working here. How do we relate the local and the global, considering the interplay and possible tensions between contexts and experiences here and elsewhere?
