Klassenverhältnisse

The existence of social classes has never ceased to shape how we live together. At the outset of the 21st century however, it has become neglected in public discourse and politics. Contemporary societies are witnessing their effects in growing economic and ?nancial inequalities, fears of social and economic decline, rising populism, political radicalization, and trends towards authoritarianism. This book aims to contribute to the overdue discussion of class in the ?eld of contemporary art, exploring their dynamic interplay with society, perception, and politics from artistic, curatorial, theoretical, philosophical, and sociological perspectives.00Artists: Monica Bonvicini, Sigmar Polke, Tobias Zielony, Neïl Beloufa, Benedikte Bjerre, Jan Peter Hammer, Thomas Hirschhorn, Sven Johne, Los Capinteros, Henrike Naumann, Driss Ouadahi, Joe Scanlan, Andrzej Steinbach, Anna Witt, Ariel Reichman, Katie Holten, Harun Farocki / Antje Ehmann und Jean-Marie Straub / Danièle Huillet00Exhibition: Kunstverein Hamburg, Germany (27.10.2018 - 27.01.2019).
