TEDxEutropolis - Frank & Patrik Riklin - The power of art outside the museum: Zero Star Hotel February 9, 2012

Favorite:

For Frank and Patrik Riklin, the best art is not recognizable as such. With their Swiss Atelier für Sonderaufgaben (Studio for special works), the two brothers create interventions in every day live, embedding the society as a part of them. "Art has to have a clear function" - "It should be placed in the middle of society, not in the museum! The best peaces of art are not recognised as such." With their concept of the Zero star hotel they have got worldwide attention, still they think it is all about blending in with their art in society.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event:

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*
