art+argument @ florian christopher, Zurich


Art is a private affair

at the off-space
florian christopher, Zurich

Anna Francke, Caroline Lommaert, Veronika Spierenburg and Ben Tomlinson debate whether art should be in the open or behind closed doors.

7pm, 2nd April 2014
florian christopher
c/o Seedorf
Gotthelfstrasse 37
8003 Zurich
The exhibition space is on the 4th floor (no lift) and space is limited. Attendance will be limited to 20 guests. PLEASE RSVP to artandargument(at)gmail.com to reserve a place. 


Four cultural experts in two opposing teams debate and discuss a motion that they have been assigned. Each participant has been given a position opposing or defending the motion, and each has five minutes to argue their case uninterrupted. Thereafter the speakers challenge each other, and the audience may in turn question the speakers. The event ends with a vote for the more persuasive team. 



This is a forum for discussing culture where the unspeakable may be said. Each speaker must play his or her assigned role, regardless of whether they agree or not. Speakers benefit from temporary immunity: what they say during the debate is not necessarily their opinion and they cannot be held to their word afterwards. 

Art + Argument is an itinerant event bringing together exciting minds from the Swiss art scene and beyond. To know more, write to aoiferosenmeyer (at) gmail.com
