Artist Karin Sander and social scientist Harald Welzer have known each other since Welzer exhibited Sander’s works as a gallerist in Hanover in the 1990s. In his most recent book Selbst denken. Eine Anleitung zum Widerstand (Thinking for Ourselves: a Manual for Resistance, 2013), Welzer calls for a move away from the ideology of economic growth, in light of world‑wide economic crises, calling instead for intelligent concepts for a ‘culture of reduction’. Intelligent reduction is exactly what Sander’s art engages with time and again. This conversation between Sander and Welzer, moderated byJörg Heiser, includes a conceptual intervention by Sander.
