Text
The catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition … Was ist Kunst? … Resuming Fragmented Histories (9.21.2013 – 11.21.2013) at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien.
The project represented an attempt to facilitate the renegotiation of the question “What is art?” – as posed in the eponymous performance series by Raša Todosijević, with the artist having represented Serbia at the Venice Biennale 2011 – in a new exhibition context at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien. It was not to approach this important existing work with a retrospective gaze, but rather to focus on this pertinent question that has long remained unanswered, despite being posed to the point of exhaustion. To investigate the existential question against the background of the massively changed territorial and cultural relations in Central Europe.
