Artist Organisations International

Initiated by Florian Malzacher, Jonas Staal und Joanna Warza

Artist Organisations International (AOI) explores a current shift from temporary, precarious art projects to long-term structures of engagement built by artists. The economic crisis, the global erosion of civil rights through the so-called ?War on Terror? and the massive rise of social movements have demanded new models of structural participation from politically engaged artists. The shift from the working model of the project to that of the organisation no longer reduces artistic engagement to the singular figure of the author but expands its scope and influence ? for example by creating new forms of educational and community structures, non-parliamentary groups, liberation movements, unions or even political parties.

The three-day congress ?Artist Organisations International? brings together over twenty organisations, founded by artists, confronting the current crises in politics, economy, education, immigration, and ecology. Lectures and discussions will provide concrete insight into their methods, profiles and goals.

A live-stream of the entire congress will also be broadcast online at www.artistorganisations.org.
