registrations at: bewerbung@kuenstlerbund.de
Since the end of 2020, the German Artists’ Association has been running the scholarship programme “Digital Mediation Formats” for the Federal Government as part of the NEUSTART KULTUR sub-programme for visual artists. The three-part event series HERBST DIGITAL in Berlin, Leipzig and Dortmund connects the scholarship holders with each other. It presents their projects and discusses their themes and practices with them: What are the effects of the ongoing digitalisation of everyday life and art, and is there a need for funding for digital art? After its launch in Berlin in September, HERBST DIGITAL is entering its second round at the Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig.
5:30 pm
Panel Discussion “SHIFT – Opportunities of Digitisation for Artistic Practice
The panel discussion will focus on the opportunities of recent technological developments for artistic practice. What expanded spaces of possibility does digitalisation open up for artists to inscribe themselves in socio-political discourse? Which working methods and forms of cooperation are becoming established and how do they affect artistic self-understanding?
Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for further discussion and exchange in the CAFÉ KAPITAL of the Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst.
With the scholarship holders Lisa Maria Baier, Anaïs Goupy, Andrea Rüthel, Tugce Yücetürk and the artists and jurors in the scholarship programme Francis Hunger and Marcel Noack. Moderation: Michael Kress (artist) and Martha Rataj-Blunk (Project Manager Scholarship Programme Module D, German Artists’ Association).
