As we conclude from recent observations, it would seem as if production and practice in the context of contemporary art and related theory are increasingly adopting a specific formatting alongside a specific language.

•
The dominant features include:

1) individual authorship claims

2) conceptual-discursive explanations of the world

3) increasingly hermetic academic-professional expertise
•
This is not a good development, in our opinion. Thus, it seems more than appropriate that we once again put ourselves in situations in which we can re-examine our personal motivations and the formal circumstances of our production and practice; in other words, the conditions in which we think, act, produce, and ultimately live. To this end, we and our guests will attempt to find formal and performative set-ups that help us to grasp this complexity with means other than language. Let’s see where this leads us.
