The art-research conference "Doing Memory" examines artistic practices in the context of the politics of memory and visual
research, primarily in Austria and Israel.
Artists, researchers, theoreticians and curators present case studies in the format of intimate, yet public dialogues in order
to observe together the way local politics of memory and history are represented, constructed, neglected and also interlinked
with each other and develop an understanding of what kind of knowledge is produced in this process.
