Those artists have been invited who exemplary have taken up or created different dialogues and its real or hypothetical forms. It has been involved, as well, questions on the relationship between artistic visualization and real interventions by artists as citizens. Additionally, in the Motorenhalle you can see and discuss contributions of the survey on the present situation of the social dialogue in our society.
„Du dialogue social“ will be carried out as a project of riesa
efau and is focussing on the social dialogue in the society by a programme of
discussions, lectures, an exhibition, films, workshops and symposia. How is
this dialogue being conducted? What is it all about? Who is going to conduct
it and how? What chances and problems are connected with it? And how does the
artist figure in this dialogue? This project will ask for his or her possibilities
and limits to influence society. Also contributions of other Dresden organizers
have been included in the programme to show examples for further dialogues and
its places.
"Du Dialogue Social" is part of the European network-project "Land
of Human Rights" and will be pursued in autumn by "Monster" –
a project on the topic of exclusion and segregation in society.

Frank Eckhardt (Curator Du Dialogue Social, riesa efau, Dresden)
2.15 p.m. Lecture and Discussion
The Will for Visibility
Rupprecht Matthies (Artist, Hamburg)
Where can you find the will for visibility? How autonomous does art is? How
willing to represent can a society be? And does presence is checkable?Often
art carries out simple and easy displacements of reality; don’t induce
these great demands an avoidance of statements and disappearance of art?
3.15 p.m. Dialogue
Dr. Wolfgang Zinggl (Cultural scientist / Member of the artists’ group
WochenKlausur, Vienna) + Konstantin Adamopoulos („Kulturkreis der deutschen
Wirtschaft“/ Curator of the Bronnbacher Stipendium at the University of
Mannheim, Cologne)
4.30 p.m. Lecture and Discussion
Autonomy and social ties – Conditions of working and living culture
Prof. Dr. Peter Richter (Psychologist, Dresden)
Our shortened understanding of work is increasingly applying the principle of
division of labour at the intellectual labour, as well. But this „economization
of the social and emotional“ destroys this essential putty of the society.
In between even the precarious situations of artists’ professions are
idealized as a living model. It will be important to create an advanced understanding
of socially necessary activities and cultural work will have a crucial role
there.
5.30 p.m. Dialogue
Enno Schmidt (Artist, Frankfurt/Main) + Lillian Fellmann (Curator, Zurich)

I can see what you can’t see - Reflections on the dialogue ability

Thomas Trummer (Project mananger visual art / Siemens Arts Program, Munich)
Insight is a psychological term, opinion a political, indulgence an ethical.
But where are the arts, which shall help to discern, after all?
