Tania Bruguera

In her course “Arte útil”, one of the leading political and performance artists Tania Bruguera will share strategies on how to deal with the issues of implementing the merging of art into society. She will work with the students in an open manner, through discussions, printed texts, action groups and public events, examining what it means to create “useful art”. Her course takes place at Alte Saline Hallein from 12 to 31 August. Tania Bruguera was shortlisted for Artes Mundi 5 in Cardiff and has just won the associated Derek Williams Trust Purchase Award.
