TRUTH IS CONCRETE handbook – pre-order it now!

We have started work on a book which will not be a mere documentation, but another aggregate state of "Truth is concrete". "TRUTH IS CONCRETE. A Handbook for Artistic Strategies in Real Politics" is supposed to be published in April 2014 and now available for pre-ordering under truthisconcrete@steirischerherbst.at.

Truth is concrete sum up

In September 2012 the "Truth is concrete", 24/7 marathon camp took place. With around 300 lectures, panels, tactic talks, performances, concerts, films, workshops and a parallel, self-curated, spontaneous Open marathon, "Truth is concrete" created a 170-hour performative space for thinking and networking.

"Truth is concrete" brought together art that not only represents and documents, but that engages in specific political and social situations – and activism that not only acts for the sake of acting but searches for intelligent, creative means of self-empowerment. Despite all the differences: This was the common denominator that was shared by the contributors, grant holders and by the many visitors from all over the world and the city of Graz.

We have put together some video material: a whole range of tactic talks, which were the short introductions to different artistic and activist practices by various contributors, many lectures and some of the themed blocks and panels are online now at
