Contemporary art, as well as our society in general, is-according to the diagnosis of the interdisciplinary art festival steirischer herbst '21-in a dead end. The Way Out of ... features texts by international contributors to the festival's discussion program that outlines ways out of the White Cube, failed political art and an unrestrained digital capitalism, and shows new paths for climate justice, a more critical race theory and new activists. Accessible and pointily written, this reader offers rich food for thought on the multiple crises of our times.
Every year for a month, STEIRISCHER HERBST, the oldest interdisciplinary festival of contemporary art in Europe, turns the city of Graz and the province of Styria in Austria into a parcours of installative and performative works. Since 1968, the festival has offered a platform for public debates, critical positions, and dialogues between the arts.
