ARTIST TALK: poptimism
Esben Weile Kjær, Jakub Gawkowski, and Mirela Baciak in conversation with Greta Rainbow (Writer-in-Residence SKV x Spike). In collaboration with the Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts.
The talk focuses on the label and the reality of “pop” and “optimism” as they appear in both Laila Shawa’s and Esben Weile Kjær’s exhibitions at Salzburger Kunstverein. Where and how does pop fit into the artists’ critiques of hegemony?
