Paradoxien des Künstler_innendaseins

Panel discussion (de) with the project group Class Issues, Marina Schulze, and a performance by MYSTI (en)

Moderation: Jacqueline Saki Aslan
Venue: Berlinische Galerie Auditorium

The point of departure for the exhibition Class Issues relates to the various shifting roles within the art field that the members of its project group have held — from artists, assistants and mediators, to trade unionists. Hoping for funding is as much a part of their everyday life as is financing their artistic work through precarious jobs. Their awareness of the self-chosen nature of this situation is accompanied by their concrete demands for more equal opportunities, transparency and redistribution.  

The event begins with a performance by MYSTI entitled art is someone else's illness, a critical look at the function of art and on working conditions in the art world. Members of the project group will further discuss these topics with Marina Schulze, who will fortify the conversation with an intergenerational perspective.
