In the context of the „Tag des Vergessens. Und des Erinnerns.“ the class for Artistic Action and Research at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig contributed artistic interventions to the exhibition Forget it?! in the German Museum of Books and Writing. The interventions made use of research-based, site-specific, speculative, and power-critical working methods that question processes of remembering and forgetting from different perspectives. In doing so they also established references to thematic focal points of the permanent exhibition.

A comprehensive #review of the #exhibition is available on our web site.

#WissensSpuren #WissensFestival #Leipzig

In November we will celebrate the first anniversary of the #WissensSpuren, and the German Museum for Books and Writing of the German National Library lauches its new exhibition Forget it?!. In a joint venture we invite you to a #KnowledgeFestival. Together with partners from science, society, and culture we will consider what is worth remembering, what should be forgotten, and how to preserve what is important. And we will discover entirely new aspects of the topic of forgetting. Come along — to participate, to exchange ideas, to marvel.

There will be offererings specifically for children, and a lot of exhibits invite discussions amoung persons of all ages. A substantial part of the exhibits and art installations is described in English and in German. The artists will be around, and some of them prefer to communicate in English.

Further information is available on our homepage.
