Name: Dietrich Heißenbüttel
Institution / Position / Tasks: ifa/ free lance journalist/ art historian, writing a report for the ifa website
Country: Germany
Fields of interest: World wide contemporary art and music
Context or Motivation to participate:
I am commissioned to write a report for the ifa website. I am very much interested in the subject of the conference, as I'm regularly writing on contemporary art, among others for the Austrian review springerin, and may also try to publish a report of the conference elsewhere. As a co-curator, I have taken part in the exhibition "theater of peace" 2010 at NGBK, Berlin, about artists' initiatives in conflict situations, and am about to publish an extended study on the subject commissioned by ifa. I see social transformation as a broader, but very much related issue.
