Occupy the museum? A discussion evening

On Wed 23 July it's been so far. In the Sweat Room (a project of the members of the group Magic cultural object), we were able to welcome a large audience. The Experiment: How can you bring together an institutional space and Occupy? could begin.
The presentation by Simon Teune, protest scientists from Berlin, was shown a historical context. In the center of which was to consider the adoption of occupation as a protest. In the labor movements in which the birth of an "aesthetics of the masses" can be spoken, began the production of images from mass production to play a role. Images, the play then and even today in the media communication an essential role contribute significantly to the success of Occupy & co. About the real images and their almost iconic significance is attached to an image-scientific tradition: images provide additional Konnotationsebene and draw some kind of image generation. The photos of the large tent cities Occupy at Zuccotti Park in New York or Madrid Indignados images are increasingly becoming a generation. Perhaps the generation of crisis? Which is also characterized by a collective decision-making in the public domain and thus with questions and fears emerges. If such phenomena are Occupy different actors that interact through their protest in public space in appearance.If one attempts such movements from public space into a (cultural) institutions to bring you room is made of challenges for staging a museum space occupying changes the message of protest. The purpose of the event series "BUSY - discourses on art, politics and aesthetics," therefore chose a different path. Protest has done for us too much with impaired communication. At this point we wanted to start and talk about the strategies of Occupy, the role of culture in public spaces such as protest and restructured as a space for dialogue should be. Issue policies issued in a museum setting out the message of the absurd. Can talk together but about the aesthetics of Occupy and deliver the strategies the art for the protest on a meta-level result can be very fruitful, and bring the whole discussion to a more abstract and less emotional level. The "sweat room" as an artistic position offered at least one of both aesthetic and functional framework and to discuss on the basis of it wonderful.
