Art opens up social spaces, intervenes in them – not only to comment on the existing, but also to design or assert spaces of possibility. In speculative futures and artistic utopias, power relations are to be made visible, shifted or questioned. Free spaces are to be created where the present has not yet made room for them. But how will we look back on these artistic visions of the future? Will art have surrendered its freedom in the struggle for free spaces – or will it have found itself in a different way?
