Education and the arts have more clearly that ever become a platform for the production of ideologies and surplus value for capital. While knowledge has supported autonomy, power and liberation, (neo-)liberal capitalism has found a position for the arts and education within the expanding knowledge-based economy.

IN ENGLISH, followed by a discussion.

At 18.00 Guest lecture seminar on documentary film Organized and presented by guest lecturer: DANIEL ERLACHER Open to general public RFK Must Die (UK/2008) Buch/Regie: Shane O'Sullivan; 94min; eng. OV.

5.Juni, 1968: Robert Kennedy gewinnt die Vorwahlen der Demokraten in Kalifornien und ist damit als Gegner von Richard Nixon als Präsidentschaftskandidat fix. Minuten später erfolgt der tödliche Anschlag des 24-jährigen Palästinensers Sirhan Sirhan. Sirhan kann sich jedoch bis heute nicht an die Schießerei erinnern - nicht einmal unter Hypnose. Führende PsychiaterInnen glauben er war ein „mandschurischer Kandidat“, also hypnotisch programmiert um Kennedy zu töten. Neu entdeckte Film- und Photoaufnahmen zeigen drei altgediente mutmaßliche CIA Agenten am Tatort, dem Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles - ein Indiz für die Beteiligung der CIA am Anschlag. Dieser hoch bristante investigative Dokumentarfilm, basierend auf O'Sullivan's jahrelangen Recherchen für die BBC und den britischen Guardian, zeichnet ein neues und verstörendes Bild des tragischen Ereignisses vor 40 Jahren.

Excursion part of the seminar/course Kritische Künstlerische Praxis als Dissens, organized by Petja Dimitrova and Eduard Freudmann.

Meeting point 15:45 Albertinaplatz 2 (in front of Cafe Mozart)

OVERLAPPING VOICES - Israeli and Palestinian Artists Essl Museum, Exhibition Hall Curators: Karin Schneider, Friedemann Derschmidt, Tal Adler, Amal Murkus Artists: Tal Adler, Shalom Amira, Anisa Ashkar, Asad Azi, Raed Bawayah, Eyal Ben-Dov, Zoya Cherkassky und Avdey Ter-Oganian, Ronen Eidelman, Shula Keshet, Jumana Manna, Parrhesia, rites-institute, Yoav Weiss, Osama Zatar, Manar Zuabi, Masha Zusman

This exhibition of Israeli and Palestinian artists offers a rare and interesting opportunity to discuss different artistic practices from a conflicted area.Both Israeli and Palestinian societies contain a vast range of people, cultures and positions with rich and intertwined histories. This exhibition tries to bring together some of these voices, which overlap and sometimes contradict the more common and clearer positions usually heard.

Some of the 22 art projects that include all artistic media are shown for the first time. Many of them are based on civil society structures, as many of the artists in this show are themselves social and cultural activists. Four of the projects created for the exhibition are a result of artistic collaboration between some of the artists and civil society organizations, Israeli and Palestinian, who present interesting visions for understanding of the region and its challenges.

An information lounge with maps, glossaries and books will give visitors the possibility to better understand the complexity of this region and its connections with Austrian history – in particular the displacement and annihilation of Europe’s Jews during the Nazi-regime.

At 18.00 Guest lecture seminar on documentary film Organized and presented by guest lecturer: DANIEL ERLACHER Open to general public American Blackout (USA/2006) Buch/Regie: Ian Inaba; 92min; eng. OV.

Ein stilistisch gesehen sehr kämpferischer Dokumentarfilm, der den fesselnden Werdegang der US-Kongressabgeordneten Cynthia McKinney (Demokratin aus Georgia) und die Unterdrückung der schwarzen Wählerstimmen historisch und während der jüngsten Präsidentenwahlen in Florida und Ohio eingehend beleuchtet. Die neueste Produktion aus dem Hause der News-Community Guerrilla News Network gewann beim Sundance Festival 2006 einen Special Award der Jury und beeindruckt sowohl durch Stil als auch durch den brisanten Inhalt: Most people have heard of the voting irregularities that marred the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Some even know of the resulting challenges to the electoral votes by African-American congressional representatives. However, because the mainstream media shies away from reporting cases of imperiled democracy the public is left to believe these stories are at worst insignificant rumors or at best one-off incidents that result from an overburdened election system. American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of disenfranchisement witnessed from 2000 to 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who not only took an active role in investigating these election debacles but also found herself in the middle of one after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Some call Cynthia McKinney a civil rights leader among the ranks of Shirley Chisholm and Malcolm X. Others call her a conspiracy theorist and a 'looney.' American Blackout gains unprecedented access to one of the most controversial and dangerous politicians in America and examines the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence political dissent.
