> 
>  
> 
> ?Economy Class¹ is the initiative of a group of interdisciplinary Austrian
> artists, Barbara Husar, Michael Lampert, Alexander Nikolic, Lukas Pusch, who
> aim to establish and promote long standing alliances with representatives of
> the contemporary Kenyan and African art scene.
> 
>  
> 
> In the words of the artists ?the Economy Class project relies on creating
>  highly effective networking within the community, in sharp contrast to
> institutionalized cultural activities, that will seed a spontaneous organic
> social structure which in itself can be considered as a work of art in its own
> right.¹
> 
>  
> 
> ?Economy Class¹ questions the conventional and institutional cultural scene.
>  The exhibition becomes a performance.  Interdisciplinary artists from
> Austria, disguised as package holiday tourists, bearers of the European
> culture, will exhibit their current positions in Nairobi and promote artistic
> dialogue and cooperation in a place where the understanding of art has a
> different basis.  In an era of digital repeatability, these tourists laden
> with originals, repros, prints, installations, sculptures, films and art
> talks, suitable as hand luggage with no transit insurance requirements take a
> last minute.com to Africa.
