Assemblies, gathering places and agora-like situations have become popularsites for contemporary art. At the heart of these arenas is the search for newways to counter the pervasive and alienating marketization of all aspects of ourlives. In Visual Cultures as Opportunity, academic duo Helge Mooshammer andPeter Mörtenböck analyze the networked spaces of global informal markets,the cultural frontiers of speculative investments and recent urban protests, anddiscuss crucial shifts in the process of collective articulation within today s crowdeconomy. Artists and cultural producers are at the forefront of testing the viabilityof co-working, crowdfunding and open-source provisions. A great deal of hope isbeing placed on the potential of social formations enabled by new technologies ofconnectivity and exchange. At the same time, global capitalism is expanding intomultipolar constellations of top-down and bottom-up economic governance. Alate 2015 presentation with the duo was held at The Store Front, NY.
