… Terrorist attacks on Bernese art institutions – Artist lets curators work for him – Stalemate at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart – One kilo clay balls in production – Fake artist biographies in circulation – Artists=potatoes? – Is the media landscape merging with the art world? – Live: artnet.com – Scandal: Actors parody the art system …
The exhibition ‘Spill the beans’ examines the prevailing structures, economies and politics of the current art world and thematises institutional mechanisms that influence and co-determine the positioning of artists and curators in the art system. On show are artistic contributions, performative and scenic interventions that take up, undermine or offensively instrumentalise institutional structures and the control of recognition processes in the art world for their own purposes.
