> Artists as Producers.
> Transformation of Public Space
> 15-16 October 2004
> organised by the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art, Riga, LV
>
> Based upon Walter Benjamin's seminal essay "The Author as Producer", a
whole
> range of theorists have developed approaches towards an aesthetics of
> production. Benjamin's arguments today may serve as a ground for
> distinguishing the different political, social and economic backgrounds in
> "Western Europe" and post- Communist countries. What about political art's
> function of supplying the capitalist production apparatus, not changing
it?
> What about the artists as producers rather than experts for the universal?
> What about the different transformations of public space in "Western
Europe"
> and post- Communist countries, where highly ideologized spaces have turned
> into consumers' spaces within the shortest period of time?
>
> with Boris Buden, Jesper Dalmose, Helena Demakova, Anders Harm, Lolita
