In the frame of “Where Are We Now?”
In view of the herbst anniversary, their appraisal of the current situation is more important than ever before: What kind of world are we living in? What do we observe, what goes unnoticed? What possibilities are there? The elaborately designed book includes snapshots, biographical background information, political analyses, and demands regarding the contributors’ own practice as artists and critics – what they all have in common is a concern for our future. The essays, photos, drawings, and stories combine to chart the world as it stands in 2017, when so many of the values which steirischer herbst has been advocating for fifty years seem to be at stake.
