THE PRODUCTION OF MEANING

Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts
Programme of events

The 2015 lecture series, with distinguished international speakers, focuses on the subject of The production of meaning. Luis Camnitzer, Tony Chakar, Ekaterina Degot, Florian Malzacher (in a Lunch Talk) and David Riff ask what, in the field of art, has or assumes meaning, and why. How is meaning produced, and who decides on it? How and by whom is meaning perceived? What is the difference between the production of knowledge and that of meaning? What is the relation between meaning and effect – that is, is there a connection between the production of meaning and specific impacts on society?
We have also invited the directors of the three "major" Salzburg art institutions to talk about the concept in their institutions with focus on The production of meaning in Museum and Kunstverein.
