Embedded Artists: Artists Outside the Art World: The World in Quest of Artists

The following Publication is a documentation of the "Embedded Artists Conference", which took place at the Zurich University of the Arts in November 2018.

The aim of the conference was to answer questions that go hand in hand with the thesis that artistic work increasingly focuses on fields that lie beyond or transcend the traditional fields of artistic activity. The search for definitions for this shifted focus, which sees artists as producers of the new, as leading figures within social processes and as co-creators of an expanded concept of art, shaped the composition of the participants, the questions of the contributions, as well as the perspective on a possible implementation of the results of this discourse in the programs of arts universities.
