In 2001, he produced a film on the kettling of demonstrators by the police at a demonstration against the World Economic Forum in Salzburg, Austria. The following year, he collaborated with Dario Azzellini on a film on the Disobbedienti, a direct-action Italian radical extraparliamentary group that grew out of the Tute Bianche and formed after the events surrounding the G8 conference in Genoa in 2001. In 2008, he released \u003Cem\u003EWhat Would It Mean To Win?\u003C\/em\u003E, which was co-directed by Zanny Begg and documented the June 2007 G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany. Ressler was also involved in the self-organized collaborative art project HOLY DAMN IT, which produced 50,000 posters to mobilize against the G8 summit in Heiligendamm. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EBesides these direct artistic interventions in political movements, Ressler has been working on \u003Cem\u003EAlternative Economics, Alternative Societies\u003C\/em\u003E. Started in 2003, this major ongoing exhibition project currently presents sixteen concepts and models for alternative economies and societies, premised on a rejection of the capitalist system.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EHis eight-channel video installation \u003Cem\u003EWhat Is Democracy?\u003C\/em\u003E, 2009, presents the views of activists in eighteen cities across the world on the deep political crisis of the Western democratic model, proposing approaches to a more democratic system.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EIn his talk \u003Cem\u003EWe are the ones we have been waiting for\u003C\/em\u003E, Ressler will present these projects and put them up for discussion in relation to the latest social movements.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EBorn in Austria in 1970, artist\/filmmaker Oliver Ressler lives and works in Vienna. His theme-specific installations, public projects, and films address issues such as economics, democracy, racism, forms of resistance, and social alternatives. His work has been featured in over two hundred group exhibitions (MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA; Ita\u00fa Cultural Institute, Sao Paulo; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Netherlands; and biennials in Prague, Seville, Moscow, Taipei, and Lyon), in addition to solo exhibitions at the Berkeley Art Museum, Berkeley, CA; Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center, Istanbul; Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade; Kunstraum der Universit\u00e4t L\u00fcneburg, L\u00fcneburg, Germany; Centro Cultural Conde Duque, Madrid; Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum, Alexandria, Egypt; and the Bunkier Sztuki Contemporary Art Gallery, Krak\u00f3w.
