The art-research conference “Doing Memory” examines artistic practices in the context of the politics of memory and visual research, primarily in Austria and Israel.
Artists, researchers, theoreticians and curators will present case studies in the format of intimate, yet public dialogues.
They will examine together the way local politics of memory and history are represented, constructed, neglected and also interlinked with each other. These dialogues are aimed at developing an understanding of what kind of knowledge is produced in such practices.
The conference is produced in the framework of “MemScreen”, a project fi nanced by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), art-based research program (PEEK) 2011 – 2013 and is located at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
