Another year with a Culture Capital in the hood, because the last one was so awesome. A dismantling society that still pretends we're rebuilding. Attitudes that perpetuate political stances that we should have disposed of long ago. A world of art, culture and discourse that forgets its own revolts. A scene that is preoccupied with its own structures. A youth that cancels slogans that are contaminated. A species that abolishes itself. Let's ask it like this: was the cleaner who removed Beuys' "Fat Corner" in the 1980s actually right? We, the STWST, want to target things that can be removed in 2024. And – by that – actually ask what can stay. */ **That's how things look in the brave new world out there:** A dismantling society that still pretends we're rebuilding. Attitudes that perpetuate political stances that should have been discarded long ago. A species that abolishes itself and still laughs. An art circus that forgets its own revolts. A spectacle culture that creates the cement. A scene that is preoccupied with its own structures. Discursive landscapes that cancel slogans that are contaminated. Let's ask it like this: was the cleaner who removed Beuys' "Fat Corner" in the 1980s actually right? **We, the STWST, want to target things that can be removed in 2024.** **And ask: Who saves the art? Who will write the prompts for the future?** \\ \\ {{:projects:kunst_kann_weg_claim24_wegwegweg.jpg?400|}} ---- ---- **STWST CALL 2024: KANN WEG** If you are interested in contributing something to STWST 2024 on this topic, which is currently still deliberately open, in a form that has not yet been defined, please send an informal email to: office@stwst.at, subject: Kann weg.

[[https://stwst48x10.stwst.at/en/die_stwst_als_schiff|Die STWST als Schiff]] - [[https://stwst48x10.stwst.at/en/kriechlicht_das_wesen|Kriechlicht Das Wesen]] 2 interrelated works from the STWST New Art Context production: The STWSTas a place of imagination and resistance - we imagine the building as a ship, mooring it to the square. A razzle-dazzle disorientation pattern on the building extends the façade as an artistic display. Parts of the wrecked ship Eleonore lie in front of the STWST on the square - as an explosion installation. A point of light crawls through the house as a creature seeking its manifestation - as a creeping light it pervades parts of the house and proclaims on text panels: The whole is the art.
