Billboard - budget cut

According to plans by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion, the Exhibition Remuneration Fund for Visual Artists (FABiK) will be suspended in 2025. Artists will lose the basis for their work and the public will have fewer free cultural offerings in municipal galleries. Stand up with us for the payment of artistic work.

Felix Deiters, alongside the three artists Kallirroi Ioannidou, Johannes Mundinger and Marina Naprushkina, was invited to design a poster commenting on the suspension of the fund. It features a question placed on a microscopically enlarged photograph of a small cut. Is imagining a future without artists a creative process? is not aquestion whose yes - no - maybe answers offer concrete solutions for cuts in art funding. However, those who ask it cannot avoid imagining what this future without (paid) artists could look like… or who is interested in turning it into reality.

FelixDeiters (*1997) studied fine arts at the Bauhaus University Weimar and Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and now lives and works in Berlin. His work examines narratives about sexuality, gender, and medical pathology of identity under capitalism. Text, installation, drawing and microscopic observations are coreelements of his practice. Since 2022, he has been working with the format of the questionnaire, exploring its properties as a tool of (self-)reflection, as well as power.
