PRAXIS 4: Public Quality?

PRAXIS wants to strengthen art from within by stimulating the artistic and political discussion. We hope to create a place for dialogue between artists, theorists, decision-makers and audience.

PRAXIS 4 is dealing with different aspects of the concept of quality. How is it created, reproduced and applied? Who has the right to define it? And what is it's relation to hierarchy, convention, economy and public art policy?

After the introductory presentations, the participants are divided into small groups at different tables. You can choose which discussion to participate in and you can change tables at any time. Very welcome to a potentially amazing, inspiring and important evening! And yes, it's for free.

Milou Allerholm (Art Critic - DN)
