#studis: Sustainability – Whats the point of Art?“

A worshop at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna

In six sessions (three blocks of 2 modules) we will develop options and strategies within art projects as alternatives to a currently useless political and systemic approach. We demonstrate how to enable and possibly engage through artistic endeavors within the messiness of the now, how to nourish hope, humour and resilience and of coursehow to relate all this to current scientific developments in sustainable solutions.

We will investigate the cultural potential of the ZAD and bolo’bolo and will speculate about novel forms of radically ecological utopias and how to culturally produce them in a sustainable way.

Come along and journey with us through texts we will read and discuss together during lectures – from science-fiction to scientific papers and finally to practical realisations.

This course also serves as inspiration to further develop your own project(s) to be realized within the practical course of the following winter semester, forming a holistic workshop over the span of the year.
