Art Installation during the International Conference "Making Sense of America - Conversations on Matter & Methods"
As part of the "Making Sense of America - Conversations on Matter & Methods" at University of Innsbruck (2-3 July), Mahshid Mayar and Philip Leonhardt are also organizing a critical arts installation, exhibiting students' experimentation with erasure techniques on four-page copies of the Declaration of Independence. On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the United States, transforming the country's foundational document promises to be a thought-provoking endeavor for students and visitors of the art installation.
