"Who's the host?"
a debate on hospitality in contemporary art.
What does the host expect and what do we expect of the host; what can we ask for and what are our responsibilities? We will address these practices from theoretical concepts to everyday issues of eating, drinking, and sleeping. How are we to understand the relationship between host and guest beyond the logic of exchange?
