"Art is beautiful, but it's a lot of work", as Karl Valentin, the great comedian and artist of language, once put it. The variation of the title for this year's series of lectures is based on the assumption that art education always takes place within a certain institutional order. And what's more: art education - at least when it is "beautiful" - means not only working within, but also working on the institution.
The institution that forms the respective starting point for the lectures can be called 'school', 'museum', 'education policy', 'the exhibition space', 'the university', 'art school', etc. The focus is on the question of how the relationship between art - mediation - institution can be described, discussed or mediated in other ways. After each lecture there will be sufficient time for discussion with the invited guests: artists, art teachers, curators, professors, educators, scientists. The event series consists of a series of lectures and events in which we reflect together on what we have heard and seen.
