Avant-gardes after Avant-gardism?

14 August, 4 pm, Kabinett 1


In both contemporary art and contemporary grassroots politics, the idea of avant-gardism seems rather discredited by the Soviet experience of party politics. Most if not all new cultural workers refuse such claims of totality, yet at the same time the developing political situation urgently poses the question of what forms of organisation can emerge and develop outside the party. Which new forms of cultural production are capable of continuing avant-garde practices? What political subjectivity lies at their base? Or, as John Roberts puts it in his lecture, what are the possibilities for “avant-gardes after avant-gardism”?

A lecture by John Roberts (writer, London), followed by a discussion with David Riff and Dimitry Vilensky from the collective Chto Delat? (What Is to Be Done?) from St Petersburg and Moscow.

In collaboration with LabforCulture.
