Ausgabe Nr. 8 von „art in migration“, der „spektakulären kunstzeitschrift“ (Eigendefinition), die sich dem Thema Migration im künstlerischen Kontext annimmt, ist soeben erschienen.
Aus dem Editorial: To work or not to work? Of course this depends on how you define “work“. Is work only a task that you get paid for? Is it important to enjoy ones job and achieve job satisfaction? Should you give your “all“, your “Herzblut,“ “your life’s blood“? Some artists manage to live from their art, but most don’t. Is art a type of work? Do artists deserve to get paid to “gaze at their navels“? This leads to more and more questions and we do not have enough money to answer all of these. However, some refugees who would really love to work are not allowed to, and some people who work too much in this “economic crisis“ would like to flee their jobs.
This leads us to the second topic, “Hidden Places“: There are refugees living here, who learn how to become invisible, partly a strategy against the aggressions of a hostile society and partly because people in big cities overlook anyone that might be inconvenient, anyone that might threaten our complex lifestyles. Strangers can become like ghosts or the “walking dead.“ In this issue of art in migration, Kamen Stoyanov gives an example of a homeless man, called Dusan (which means soul),
living in the dead-end of a subway yard in Bratislava. Bernhard Kummer took a series of photos of empty beds in refugee homes, Leben im Zwischenraum (life in between spaces). As an art group, we will make a performance in the old university campus (Altes AKH) to try and bring the two parallel worlds together, the students and the refugees.
