Invitation for Developing Diagrams

By Adelheid Mers

Artist’s presentation: August 7th, 7 pm

August 8th–11th: By appointment adelheidmers@gmail.com

Adelheid Mers’ diagrams often serve as the point of departure for continual discussion. Her current research interests focus on the epistemologies of artists and administrators.

A visual artist, occasional curator and Associate Professor at the Department of Arts Administration and Policy at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Mers devises diagrams that are poetic and analytic reflections on art institutions, exhibitions, public lectures, studio visits and written texts. http://adelheidmers.org

From June to August 2012, Mers spent the first part of a sabbatical in Austria, at the Institut für Kulturmanagement und Kulturwissenschaft and at AIR Krems. She further developed her work with the support of visitors and colleagues at the VBKÖ, from August 7–11th.
