contemporary artistic practice. 

26 November 2005 at 16.00 hrs at BAK, basis voor actuele kunst with:
Pavel Buchler, artist, Manchester, 
Kendell Geers, artist, Brussels, 
and Henk Oosterling, philosopher, Rotterdam

The psychology of fear has long played an important part in the collective sub-conscious of people during wartime. It has been 
used as a potent tool by those in power. Currently fear seems to be a sufficient instrument not only for terrorists, but also for 
governments and political parties. In his lecture philosopher Henk Oosterling looks at the relationship between fear and politics, 
analyzes the current issue of "safety utopia," and relates it to contemporary art practices. Artists Pavel Buchler and Kendall Geers 
discuss the topic of fear in relation to their artistic practice and present some new projects.
