The Alter-Globalization Movement â Interventions with Art in  
Political Movements
Live conversation with Razvan Ion

Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 19.00 hours

Oliver Ressler will discuss the alter-globalization movement along the  
path of some of the projects he worked on in the last couple of years.
He produced a video on the hour-long encirclement of demonstrators by  
the police at a demonstration against the World Economic Forum in 2001  
in Salzburg, and one on the âDisobbedientiâ (with Dario Azzellini).  
âWhat Would It Mean To Win?â (with Zanny Begg) was filmed on the  
blockades at the G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany in June 2007 and  
focuses on the current state of the alter-globalization movement.  
Ressler created banners for demonstrations (with David Thorne) and was  
involved in the self-organized collaborative art project Holy Damn It (www.holy-damn-it.org 
), that produced 50.000 posters to mobilize for the resistance  
movements against the G8 summit in Heiligendamm.
Through his work Ressler outlines different strategies to intervene  
with art in political movements.
