Abstract (English)"The expression “town-gown conflict” describes centres of conflict in the urban life of university cities, in which the campus and students in their academic garb test the societal balance. The conflicts associated with the gown-wearers encompass social differences, educational shortfalls, mechanisms of social differentiation, segregation and the demonstration of the superiority of the educated classes over the “productive” members of society. Together with Verena Dengler, Lucile Desamory, Caitlin Keogh, Beca Lipscombe, pelican avenue and Elizabeth Radcliffe, Scottish artist Lucy McKenzie (born in Glasgow in 1977, lives and works in Brussels) brings together artists and fashion designers for the exhibition «Town-Gown Conflict», whose drafts and finished works of both art and so-called applied art explore topics relating to social formatting.
