Academy of Fine Arts Vienna

Lecture Performance, 16.09.2023

Wienwoche Art and Activism Festival 2023

Performance by Deniz Güvensoy as part of the Museum der Migration project.

The performance ironically delves into the challenges faced by artists holding 3rd country citizenship in Europe. It provides an institutional critique of the Western art system, its structures, and its power dynamics. In this performance, the artist embodies an international curator, offering advice to third-country immigrants on navigating the art world successfully. The piece humorously addresses the exploitative and manipulative policies within the intersections of art, capital, and identity politics.
