Panel Discussion
CULTURAL AUTOPSY
COUCH.CLUB
31 October 2004
Small Hall, free entrance
The curators and artists of ‘Cultural Autopsy’ explain the choices they have made and enter into discussion. Can the distorted images of Western film and television culture be corrected by those very same media? How effective are the contributions that artists make in this field? How much space does exist between paternalism and exploitation? About the paralysing effect of exaggerated political correctness, persistent misconceptions, the catharsis of hyperbole and irony.
With: Lisl Ponger, Johan Grimonprez, Roy Villevoye & Jan Dietvorst Couch.master: Chris Keulemans (author and free-lance journalist for a.o. De Volkskrant)
