Micropolitics_ lecture series_ Iris Hoppe_lecture_Monday, December 8,2008 at 7 pm
Iris Hoppe's work encompasses performances and interventions in the public space, video and film, installations, photographs, drawings and interdisciplinary projects. Her practice is focused on the processes and the 'immediate experiences' through context responsive and site specific projects. Exploring the borders between people and coutries, mental borders and borders of art as space, Hoppe often refers to the difference between the 'inside' and the 'outside' and the intensive relationship between the human psyche and the modes of perception.

For me, a big gesture has something inherently unpleasant about it, something of an emptiness that is close to a lie." / From Mika Hanula's "The Politics of Small Gestures- Chances and Challenges for Contemporary Art", published by Art-ist publications, Istanbul 2006

Micropolitics_lecture series_ Nina Montmann: How Art Institutions Can Create A New Sense Of Belonging _ November 12, 2008 at 7 pm
Institutions, and therefore of course also art institutions, are by definition instruments or platforms for a prevailing order of social values. Art institutions, however, are not as clearly linked to the official societal narrative as other institutions are, but rather act according to the venerable “arm’s-length principle.” Therefore they also have an individual, changeable profile which gives their actors a relatively large room for manoeuvre...
