Talk with Olafur Eliasson, Eric Ellingsen, Guido Brendgens, Benjamin Foerster-Baldenius, Regula Lübscher, Joanna Warsza, Christina Werner, an others

Politik ist die Kunst des Möglichen, Kunst ist die Politik des Unmöglichen (Politics is the art of the possible, art is the politics of the impossible), 2011–2012, conceived by Olafur Eliasson for the 7th Berlin Biennale, is a six-month educational–political experiment realized together with the Institut für Raumexperimente (Institute for Spatial Experiments) and the Universität der Künste (The Berlin University of the Arts). The fellowship, which began on April 1, 2012, aims to create a critical exchange between political and artistic practitioners based on their shared sense of social commitment. Dr. Guido Brendgens, researcher on construction, housing, urban development, and the environment for the political party DIE LINKE in the Berlin City Parliament, has been awarded the fellowship.
