Realise & Resist

presentation Biennale Venice

Art has always responded highly sensitively towards crisis. In recent years, crisis has relentlessly encompassed Europe and the whole planet and has deeply affected the social fabric of societies as well as individual concepts of life. It is in this context that the importance of artistic creation - especially the artists’ ability of critically and sensually re-imagining - emerges as a potent force. The project REALISE_The Resilience of Art in Liquid Crises (2014 – 2016) asks questions about how contemporary artists deal with the oscillating and omnipresent phenomenon: What aspects of crisis are reflected upon? What kind of ideas and alternative models of resistance towards crisis can be developed? How can art contribute to promote strategies of resilience? In what ways art and culture itself are in crisis? Is there something like Creative Crisis Intelligence?

You are cordially invited to the presentation of the REALISE project on the occasion of the preview of the 56th Venice Biennale 2015!
