What happend when?

*Moderation: Britta Peters (curator)*

How are revolutionary events reflected upon in art? Taking as its starting point the three artists’ diverse manners of working, the discussion was to revolve around activism, re-staging and research as artistic strategies for addressing upheavals in society. A special focus lied on the works by these artists on view at the Frankfurter Kunstverein, which together form an interesting geopolitical triangle: Iran in 1978/79 – Romania in 1989 – Egypt in 2011.
