Omschrijving
Oliver Ressler (Austria, 1970, lives in Vienna, AT)
Over the past couple of years Ressler has been focusing on diverse concepts and models for alternative economies and societies all over the world, which all share a rejection of the capitalist system of rule. His explorations have resulted in the ongoing exhibition project Alternative Economics, Alternative Societies, which currently includes 14 video interviews with economists, political scientists, authors, and historians. For this occasion he decided to re-publish several slogans that he previously used in a series of billboards which were exhibited in several countries including Slovakia, Croatia, The Netherlands, Peru, Italy, Germany and Denmark. The slogans address the reader in a direct way, asking him/her to imagine a different kind of social and/or economical order. See also: www.ressler.at
