[spectre] EVICTED BY GREED: Changes of dates, 29-30 May 2020
EVICTED BY GREED: Changes of dates, 29-30 May 2020 Berlin's Senator for Culture and Europe Klaus Lederer informed the city of Berlin that cultural events in public facilities with 500 visitors or more can no longer take place—this measure was taken to contain the further spread of the corona virus (COVID-19). We would like to deal with the situation at hand in a responsible manner and postponed our conference EVICTED BY GREED (originally scheduled to take place on March 27-28) to May 29-30.2020. The next community meetup will take place on May 6 at ACUD Macht Neu. The workshop "Subvertising for the right to housing" is scheduled on May 28. The only part of the programme that will take place on March 29 is the outdoor city tour "Visiting the Invisible: A Berlin City Tour to Anonymous and Aggressive Real Estate Investors" with Christoph Trautvetter (fully booked, with limited number of participants). Due to the high interest, the same tour will happen also on May 31 (online registration is required). We hope for your understanding and that you will be able to come to our conference in May and support with your presence the loss that we will all have. All tickets that have been bought for the March conference and subvertising workshop will be valid for the new dates in May. In case you would like to cancel your participation in May, you can request a ticket refund through our online ticket system. To get a refund, please click the link to your order in the email you received from our ticket system. In case of problems or questions, you can contact us through info(at)disruptionlab.org. The registration for the city tour on March 29 are unchanged. If you want to cancel, do so through the ticketing system. If you want to change to the May tour, please write us at info(at)disruptionlab.org.

International Conference 90s: Scars 15 - 16/5/2020 Rijeka | Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art https://rijeka2020.eu/en/dogadjanja/international-conference-90s-scars/ The aim of the conference within the project 90s: Scars is to encourage the further study of the art of the 1990s, as well as a broader dialogue amongst researchers who are dealing in the various aspects of the art and society of Central and Eastern Europe of that decade. Immediately after the opening of the exhibition 90s: Scars is organised an international conference whose aim is to encourage the further study of the art of the 1990s, as well as a broader dialogue amongst researchers who are dealing in the various aspects of the art and society of Central and Eastern Europe of that decade. Open to scientists, independent researchers, curators and theorists, this conference encourages new reflections and contextualisations of this turbulent period. The conference touches upon themes such as the interrelationship of national, international and transnational social and cultural spaces in the newly-developed states, the new historiographies of the art of Central and Eastern Europe and the new organisational and communication models of the cultural sector, created in the 1990s. Along with the examining of the touched upon points of art and political activism, the conference also includes a critical reading of the extensive exhibitions dedicated to the artistic practices of Central and Eastern Europe organised during the 1990s, plus a reflection on the continuities and innovations in curatorial practices and concepts of this period. The conference’s concept was devised by Sanja Sekelj (HR) and Janka Vukmir (HR).
