Art + Argument at K3, Zürich

SAVE THE DATE!

Without a market, no-one would make art

17h, 20 February 2011

K3 Project Space

Maag Areal

Hardstrasse 219

CH 8005 Zürich

Four cultural experts in two opposing teams debate artists’ motivation and what the market means. Teams must oppose or defend the motion, and each team member has five minutes to argue their case uninterrupted. After that speakers challenge each other and the audience may in turn question the speakers. The event will end 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 or visit
