The project Conversations united a diverse group of artists, both individuals and groups. It was not governed by a commonly structured concept but was mainly concerned with different ways of examining and contemplating art and society, in terms of their functionality, collective work, and reflection. Accordingly, a special social space was created where no single language of truth was prevalent. Instead, it enabled the transformation of the voice of the other. And since all meaning is relative and provisional, a certain tension prevailed, which was likewise pointing to other possible contexts.
