CRASH-COURSE
“What do you mean contemporary art?”

Are you allowed to talk about things you don’t understand? Yes, you are. And yet you will know that feeling of standing around at some vernissage, just nodding along with the small talk, because you forgot to google all those arty concepts. What you need is a crash course that explains the specialist terminology and theories by way of example of selected works.

Taking Olsen’s exhibit as an example, we will explain the tension between autonomous and collective creativity.
