PLATFORM3 2012 : SEE (TO) IT - A QUEST FOR ARTISTIC PRACTICES TO INCLUDE THE VIEWER
January 01, 2012 to December 31, 2012
In all our 2012 projects, PLATFORM3 attempts to break apart the widespread theory of the passive spectator – not through preprogrammed participation, but rather through various strategies of making public the genesis of a project. In this way the audience is no longer an unpredictable variable appearing at the conclusion of the artistic production process, but an integrative component of every artistic project – whether exhibition, performance or lecture series.
CRITICAL VOICES - Dialogues between Munich and Stuttgart

EDITION TAUBE: DON'T LOOK NOW
Opening: May 16, 2012, 7 pm
The publishing and artist collective Edition Taube has conceived a work for PLATFORM3 that deals with the production and reception of books. Indeed our involvement with the book as a medium is constantly changing, in their print as well as virtual form. How do the roles of author and reader shift on account of these processes? And what new interfaces are created? With the installation “Don’t look now” Edition Taube explores the question of the function of a virtual, re-medialised book.
B∃SETZT – Discourse on Art, Politics and Aesthetics
International Video Call
In the summer of 2012 PLATFORM3 will be organizing a series of events on the topic of occupying strategies in art. Besides lectures by experts and panel discussions, there will also be a screening on the topic of art in urban space. What effects does this occupying have on artistic forms of expression? How is art taking up public space? In order to get to the bottom of all these questions PLATFORM3 is issuing a Call for Videos to ALL city strollers who have discovered evidence of an overlap between artistic strategies of occupation and the everyday in an urban environment. Submissions are now being considered.
STEFANIE UNRUH - TAUSCHLEIHE
For more than 2 years now the Referat for Arbeit and Wirtschaft and PLATFORM3 have been presenting the project "Satellite for Contemporary Art", which presents a continuously changing exhibition in its showroom. In 2012 the atelier artists at PLATFORM3 are again developing the most varying concepts for the artistic design of this exhibition space. The active spectator specifically takes center stage in these multimedia works. In this year's program integrating the audience is not only the aim, but the starting point of artistic consideration.
The exhibition takes place in the foyer of the Referat for Arbeit and Wirtschaft on Herzog-Wilhelm-Str. 15.
