---Product & Vision: Interfaces and boundaries in art and economy

Exhibition at Kunstfabrik am Flutgraben, Berlin, Germany
9 September - 9 October

What happens if a corporation - in this case, the Berlin-based publishing
house Cornelsen - opens its doors to a group of  artists? Can artists or
arts and Cornelsen or the corporate sector in general learn something from
each other, or will their autonomy be questioned? The participants of
Product & Vision have studied, amongst others, the finance structure, the
identification of the employees with the company, the products
(schoolbooks), the production process, the image of the company, and the
organisational structure. This exhibition presents the results of this
artistic process in installations, videos, pictures and performances,
together with other works from the field of art and business.

Product & Vision is initiated by artists Mari Brellochs and Henrik Schrat in
cooperation with the Berlin-based art venue Kunstfabrik am Flutgraben.
Product & Vision focuses on businesses/enterprises as a dominating form of
social organisation. Interfaces and boundaries between art and economy are
one of the central issues. How do companies learn, how do artists learn?
What does social responsibility mean for artists, and for companies? On the
other side the enterprise becomes a model, a source of inspiration for
artistic and academic work. To provide a real-life example, the publishing
house Cornelsen has been incorporated into the project as a case study,
producing exciting interactions for both sides. The company gave the
participants of the project insight into their organization and into the
working processes, to develop ideas, comments and criticism about them.

As part of the project, a Reader “Sophisticated survival techniques.
Strategies in Art and Economy� is published. A catalogue will be published
after the exhibition.
