Sophie Goltz Director Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts
Moderation: Luisa Ziaja Chief Curator Belvedere, /ecm Team of Directors
Based on the repercussions of Documenta Fifteen and connected with the question of
public (art) spaces, this lecture will present artistic and curatorial strategies around notions of remembering. Lately, it
was called "Versöhnungstheater" (spectacle of reconciliation, Czollek), the German Erinnerungskultur (remembrance culture)
is questioned in these projects and its institutional manifestations be it a memorial site, museum, archive, walkabout, ritual,
or gesture. With which understanding of public space – and thus infrastructure – do artists and curators develop strategies
of alternative forms of remembering? What role do compromises play towards a not-yet reconciliation?
