1. Workshop I (24/09 – 29/09/2007)
Kinship and other Monstrosities
Antigone as a myth, a failed hero, a theatrical figure and a cultural  
political concept will be the starting cloth of this workshop which  
is led by Kattrin Deufert and Thomas Plischke. Together with the  
workshop participants, they will collect, cross-read and process  
material that tackles the myth of Antigone, the problematics of  
kinship, the politics of representing (or creating) monsters in our  
society, the functionalities of terror in a capitalistic world, the  
precarious relation between death, incest, family and suicide.
By Kattrin Deufert (D) & Thomas Plischke (D)
With Jeroen Peeters (B), Katharina Pewny (A/D) & Marcus Steinweg (D)

3. Workshop III (07/10 – 12/10/2007)
Spaces of Negotiation
The relationship between architecture, everyday culture and place in  
the context of a globalised life-world is starting point of this  
workshop led by ifau (Institute of Applied Urbanism, Berlin) and the  
architecture-theorist Jesko Frezer. Exploring the relationship of  
aesthetic and use based on selected examples of architecture in Graz  
is the starting point for a discussion of the social performance of  
architecture.
