The basement of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie is absolutely packed. It is the first day of the conference WHERE ARE WE GOING, WALT WHITMAN?, part of Studium Generale. Anselm Franke curated a day of insights into outer-space photography, counterculture, psychoanalysis, animism, and the relation between hairballs and earthquakes.

The second year of Alternativa in Gdansk takes place in the same spaces as its first edition, but the surrounding of the buildings and the outdoor atmosphere has changed, and is changing drastically every day.

Like in every discussion dealing with art and autonomy, the questions outnumber the answers. Report on a lecture by Andrea Fraser at the Van Abbemuseum, which focuses partly on autonomy from a psychoanalytical standpoint.
