14 August 20h - LUÍS NEIVA & BJÖRN SCHMELZER
on Gebrauchsmusik and the Futile Strategies of a Minor Art
Luís Neiva and Björn Schmelzer discuss the exhibition GEBRAUCHSMUSIK (with new work by Margarida Garcia and Bert Timmermans) and dive into the 20th century history of use and uselessness in art, the paradoxical and ideologically charged struggle for autonomy, the impossibility and contradictory strategies of artists dealing with it. The work of Timmermans and Garcia offer fascinating strategies to tackle this predicament without giving up its seemingly impossible to dissolve entanglement, on the contrary, rather by totally engaging and identifying with it.
Free entrance with optional donation

Luís Neiva en Björn Schmelzer praten over de tentoonstelling GEBRAUCHSMUSIK (met nieuw werk van Margarida Garcia en Bert Timmermans) en duiken in de 20e-eeuwse geschiedenis van de nuttigheid en nutteloosheid van de kunst, de paradoxale en ideologisch geladen strijd om haar autonomie, de onmogelijkheid en tegenstrijdige strategieën van kunstenaars om hiermee om te gaan. Het werk van Timmermans en Garcia biedt hier fascinerende uitwegen en binnenwegen, zonder de schijnbaar onmogelijke verstrengeling ervan op te geven, integendeel, eerder door er zich volledig mee te verbinden en te identificeren.
