Open 24 investigates the current state of affairs in the theory and practice of ‘The Politics of Things’. What does a thing like ‘art’ do in democracy, how does art make publics, how does a thing interact with other things and people, and how does it influence them? In 2005, in the book and the exhibition Making Things Public: Atmospheres of Democracy, Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel asked themselves how a democratic politics could function better and what the role of things, objects, issues and art might be within that.
