»The
love to work, the frantic work-addiction leading to total exhaustion.« (Paul
Lafargue)
With their
»Arbeit über Arbeit« (Work about Work) Krüskemper
and Sadlowski questioned the conditions of work today, forms
of self-organisation, and personal workstrategies and –utopias.
For this they initiated temporary situations in public space
in Nuremberg for discussions and actions. Economical strategy:
creating networks with different partners. An archive accompanied
the project. Scientists, artists, manager and all people who
were interested was invited to participate in the project and
to talk about their experiences.
»Positionen und Tendenzen 2000« (Positions and Tendencies
2000) Guests: the Media Theoretic Martin Burckhardt »Immaterielle
Produktion« (Immaterial Production), the Sociologue Michael
Brater »Künstlerische Kompetenzen im Arbeitsprozess« (Artistic
Competencies in Work Processes), and Net-author Claudia Klinger »Teleexistenz« (Tele
Existence). The political Economist and Philosopher Robert Kurz
was invited by »Arbeit überArbeit« for talking
about today’s notion and value of work. He described the
expectations in the »New Economy« and the consequences
of the »New Technologies« for the job situation.
Which forms of work will we encounter in the future? Of how much
flexibility is a single person capable of? Is there a personal
strategy to avoid the erosion of the value of work? |
