Open Up I: Virtuosity as a war machine
Sven-Olov Wallenstein (S)
Swedish philosopher and professor of aesthetics Sven-Olov Wallenstein confronts the concept of the war machine developed by Deuleuze and Guattari with contemporary notions of virtuosity and emancipation: how can we understand virtuosity as a mode of production that has the potential to challenge or even undermine our social reality?

Open Up II: Can I do magic?
Matthias Anton (D)
The Burn, The Bill Switch, The Slit Cut – those are the names of famous conjuring tricks, conjuring tricks involving money. Making coins appear at your fingertips, destroying and restoring notes, making money: conjuring tricks which use money talk about capitalism and about capitalism as a trick in a very special way. Following the lecture performance, the ”Casino of Tricks” will give insights into the trick capital that it has won and gambled away so far.

Open Up III: What is appreciation?
On art, economy and creation of value
With Tino Sehgal (D/GB)
Presented by Kai van Eikels (D)
Artistic value and economic value – are they only incidentally related? Or are there links in twenty-first-century art between the aesthetic and the economic that are not limited to the market value of art works? Is there a medium other than money which can increase the value of art and economy?
