The WochenKlausur headquarters in #vienna has lovely green windows 🌿💚 I had no idea what it was when I took the picture but after googling it, I knew that I was seeing something of kindred spirit when I came across their offices 💚 They are an artist group who have been conducting social interventions since 1993. WochenKlausur empowers people to build better lives for themselves. The group’s name stands for “weeks of closure”—which evokes, as they say, “the concentrated atmosphere of a closed working-session.” #wochenklausur #art #activism

Response to WochenKlausur

Gabrielle Patterson’s response to the work of the Austrian artist group WochenKlausur:

[fromweimarwithlove-blog]

Kunst kann immer nur sein, was die Menschen wollen, dass sie sei. Das ist keine Frage des Konsens, es müssen nicht alle eine Vorstellung von Kunst teilen. Vielmehr finden sich die Menschen, die ein und denselben Kunstbegriff mehr oder weniger gemeinsam verwenden, in Gruppen. Sie finden sich über einen gemeinsamen Kunstbegriff, wie sie sich über ihre Anschauungen zu Fragen der Religion, der Moral oder der Politik finden.

Artists eating a different meal every day out of a book, does it only become art because of the way it is documented? Or is it art because it is an artist who is doing the activity? Is it even important to call it art? There is merit in just doing some things and not labelling them art.
