The Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig presents

 "Joint venture" - about art and economy
2.2.2000 the New Media department of the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig is
taking on "joint venture" - a project combining a class showcase and works
of final exam students at the BIC Leipzig. For the time being the students
are taking over a office building in an industrial neighborhood -
transforming offices into production places for works in progress, turning
them into labs for experimental investigations.

 "Joint venture" will be a platform for discussion about the different faces
of art practices - here presented by the student works - but with the focus
being shifted towards the subject of media and not the autonomous singular
art piece. Networking and context
 integration as main aspect of art. Media specific works implementing more
and more the conditions under which they are being developed.
 Drawing conntections to urban culture, to pop culture and almost playfully
embedding newest technologies the young artists deal with subjects of
political, economical and scientific matters. The choice of the location -
the BIC - is a thrust to leave known environments and to experiment with new
cooperation in the meaning of a "joint venture".

 The show is part of the annual "Rundgang" show (February 4th/5th) at the
academy of visual arts and it ends February 10th 2000.
