Circles Lab 5

Open Discourse Lab 5
Artistic work and economics

Reflecting intentionalities of contemporary art production also brings an additional perspective to the forming of the artist's identity in the framework of economic settings. Contributions to private-sector, public or collective goods are accompanied by at least partial acceptance of norms. Throughout the presentations of their artistic works, the artists present examine processes of artistic self-conception in contemporary economic contexts.

Peter Moosgaard, media artist

Christian Stefaner-Schmid, concept artist and theorist
