Friday June 1518.00 Opening of the exhibition MoneySaturday June 1611.00 Object-Form and Commodity FormLecture by Sven-Olof Wallenstien, Philosopher, Art critic and teacher at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm and at the University College of Södertörn Contemporary art has a strange, often implicit and yet highly charged relationship to economy. Art and money - this connection triggers of many feelings: disgust, critical reflection, but also the idea that news ways could be forged to include economical sub- or infrastructures in the works and the artistic processes themselves. Whether this really means a loss of critical potential, a surrender to commodity fetishism, or quite simply a way to redefine practice in the light of current society, remains to be seen. The proximity between artistic manipulations of signs and what is referred to as the "new economy" is so striking, however, that the issue necessarily arises. 12.00 The participant artists of the exhibition Money present their work14.30-17.20 Monetary Life (open seminare)A discussion on the theme: Keynote Speaches: Panel Discussion where artists and cultural workers give their commentaries; Inconclusions by Thomas Bay and Per Bäckius 21.00 03.00 Live & Love PartyLive music, DJ and Bar at Konstakuten Söndag 17 juni11.00-16.00 NICE meeting (internt)All day meeting, discussions and workshop at CRAC.
