The Art of Assembly XXX: “The Condition of No. What are the Limits”
with Aziz Al-Azmeh & Susan Neiman,
planned for 05. MAR 2025 at Villa Stuck in Munich,
has been cancelled.
This episode was planned as the prologue of the series “The Condition of No: Talks on Boycott, Censorship and Protest in Germany” at Villa Stuck. After the City of Munich intervened against the list of speakers, the museum and the curators did not want to accept this intervention and therefore canceled the entire series.
Experts from various disciplines were to speak on five evenings about the limits of freedom of speech and artistic freedom. With the cancellation, what was to be the topic of the discussion series has become reality: “Cancellations, boycotts, censorship, behavioral clauses and protests have a massive impact on the cultural sector”. The aim of the Museum Villa Stuck was to facilitate discussions and with them understanding, differentiation and communication.
Due to the short turnaround of this situation we are looking for a possibility to realize this program in the near future.
„The Art of Assembly“ is a nomadic series of lectures and conversations,
gathering protagonists from various fields of art, activism and theory
to speculate on the potential of assemblies in a time when not much seems certain.
