Kommentar
From Minimalism and so-called “Land Art” through site specificity and “Institutional Critique” to installation art and “Relational Aesthetics,” practices in contemporary art have defined themselves in terms of the circumstances and conditions of production and reception. Confronted with this new configuration, art history—in an ongoing interdisciplinary dialogue—in turn has developed terms and concepts such as site, context, situation, milieu, environment, field or network—or integrated them into its methodologies.
Against this backdrop, the seminar examines the ongoing transformation of the relationship between art and its “milieus”: Far beyond established procedures and possibilities of making the frames of art tangible, significant artists have proceeded to install or instigate encompassing eco-systems. Aesthetic forms, natural materials or organisms, technological devices and cultural discourses enter into heretofore unknown conjunctions or concatenations. Building surroundings comprised of both artificial and “organic”, media-technological and biological elements, these contemporary practices not the least throw the question (also posed by theories of a “general ecology”) into vibrant relief in how far purportedly “natural” modes of experience and interaction are inseparably “wired” with a rationality based in the applied calculus of algorithms.
Complementing the eponymous series of lectures (that bring together perspectives and approaches from the fields of art history, architectural and environmental studies, media theory and art practice), this seminar offers advanced students the occasion to further discuss the nexuses between art and ecology with the series’ invited speakers – such as Lucia Allais, Simon Baier, Erich Hörl, Sven Lütticken, Felicity D. Scott, Luke Skrebowski, Florian Sprenger and Kerstin Stakemeier. Attendance of the weekly lectures therefore is mandatory.
