Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Numerous dimensions of the political have been discussed in research on contemporary art in recent decades. However, little attention has been paid to artistic practices that were directly involved in political negotiations, summits or forums, or that positioned themselves in relation to these. Based on theoretical approaches to different uses of art in political contexts (diplomacy, soft power, etc.), governance, image politics and the performative dimensions of politics, we will discuss commissioned artworks, exhibitions and activist interventions into global mega-events such as the G8/G20 summit, the World Economic Forum and the UN climate conferences. We look at the different roles and functions artists take on in these contexts, what attitudes or even goals they formulate and by what means, what infrastructures and funding they are provided with (or denied) by certain institutions and how they situate themselves in global contemporary art.The students have familiarised themselves with a specific art historical topic and have received the relevant specialist literature in an independent and critical manner. They are able to observe and precisely describe art historical phenomena, meaningfully narrow down topics, pose research questions, form hypotheses and discuss them in discussion with the specialist literature. They are also able to convincingly present the results of their research, observations and reflections in oral and written form.
