Panel 3: Art
6th May 2008, Festsaal Landesgalerie Linz
2 p.m.
Restitution of Artworks in Actual Practice and Contemporary Art in National Socialism
Contemporary Art in National Socialism – What approaches do artists now take to National Socialism? Could the pictures and worlds of imagery produced by National Socialism itself contribute to an explanation of it? What are we to make of artworks like “Auschwitz-Lego” by Zbigniew Libera and “Prada-Death Camp” by Tom Sachs? Marcus J. Carney (Filmmaker, Vienna)
