Art and crisis
What does this time require of us? What possibilities does it offer? What responsibility? Why is art being attacked by censorship and cuts right now? What do we do when art itself is under attack?
We gather around the long table in Jannik Abel's exhibition Back to the Land to have a dialogue about art and institutions. You are invited to sit around the table and create this conversation with us.
P.S.: You won't regret wearing thick wool socks.
Included in the exhibition ticket which you purchase at the reception. Free entry for members.

About Back to the Table
Back to the Table is a social-relational dialogue program that consists of six gatherings around the table in the skylight hall at Kunstnernes Hus. Artists from different art fields meet around an eight metre long table. The table has been made by Jannik Abel with recycled materials from many different art projects and art institutions.
The conversations take place in Abel's exhibition Back to the Land, and there in the middle of the art we will talk together. In this time our collective forces must be gathered.
