“We are accustomed to the idea of habit; defining the concept itself is difficult,” writes Hegel.
At
the symposium Habit, you change!, the question of the logics of habit is at the centre of the discussion, with the
aim of exploring possibilities for liberation and realisation. It follows as the second part of the symposium The Goodness
of Habit, in which habit, Hegel’s concept of habit and artistic perspectives were central themes.

Pinar, Miriam Schönwald, Melanie WilbrandLast autumn’s inaugural symposium, The Virtue of Habit,

the integration of artistic perspectives, such as in painting (Thomas Eggerer), music (Bernhard Lang), literature (Sophia
Rohwetter), design (Lukas Kaufmann, Miriam Stoney) and a spatial installation by the ART SCHOOL Cologne/Vienna (Mirjam Thomann,
Jenni Tischer and students from Cologne and Vienna).
