Podcastserie om Læsø Kunsthal og “Den politiske kunst”

(In English below)

 

En ny podcastserie i tre dele, “Oprør i kunsthallen”, går i kødet på Læsø Kunsthals udstilling “Den politiske kunst” fra 2019, og dækker også den opfølgende udstilling “Political Art” i Warszawa 2021-22.

Undervejs bidrager professor og filosof Henrik Kaare Nielsen ved Aarhus Universitet med denne smukke passage:

”De her offentlige udstillingssteder er jo kendetegnet ved at de skal være der for os alle sammen.Kunsthaller, kunstmuseer, koncertsale, biblioteker er offentlige kulturinstitutioner som i de sidste hundrede år har været helt afgørende for udviklingen af et demokratisk og kulturelt rigt samfund. De er grundlagt på den kulturelle offentligheds idé, som handler om at vi har fælles anliggender … de her institutioner er sat i verden for at skabe tilbud og udfoldelsesmuligheder for vores samtale. (…) Det at være menneske i et moderne samfund skal kunne artikuleres og blive gjort tilgængeligt for alle.”

In a new podcast serie, a Danish cultural anthropologist explore the story of Laesoe Art Hall’s exhibition “The political art” and its repercussions in 2019. In conversations with artists, curators, politicians and scientists Tine Sommer closes in on the deeper mechanisms behind this one example of “cancel culture” as it unfolded, and what it means. The philosopher and professor at Aarhus University, Henrik Kaare Nielsen, says in a particularly brilliant passage:

“These public exhibitions are characterised by the fact that they should be there for all of us.
Art galleries, art museums, concert halls and libraries are public cultural institutions which, over the last hundred years, have been crucial to the development of a democratic and culturally rich society. They are founded on the idea of the cultural public sphere, which is about our common concerns … these institutions were created to provide opportunities for our conversation. (…) The experiences of how to be a human being in a modern society must be articulated and made accessible to all.”
