HOW/To Think an other cultural concept/NOW
What’s the meaning of art and culture in a world of simultaneity, a world in which European tourists take a swim in the same waters of the Mediterranean Sea in which refugees, deprived of their existence, drown by the hundreds? What’s the promise of the word culture in a world of mobility taking a shortcut by supersonic speed, therefore making distances more and more insignificant and places getting closer?
Touristin der eigenen Denkungsart
Als Hannah Arendt davon sprach, dass man seine Einbildungskraft lehren solle, Besuche zu machen…
Die Querung des Gleichers
Gabriele Münter, Wassily Kandinsky, Emil Orlik, René Beeh, Paul Klee, August Macke, Louis Moilliet, Karl Hofer, Max Pechstein Paul Gauguin, Ottilie Reylaender, Walther Spies … um nur einige Namen der klassischen Moderne zu nennen, haben etwas für sich in Erfahrung gebracht, was ein Jahrhundert später zum Common-Sense einer Informations-Gesellschaft gehört.
Doubting as Traveling (Self-Certainty as a Road to Nowhere)
One of the biggest problems of our civilization is a misguided idea of the self. Conceptually, as well as in everyday practices, the general expectation is to display a self-certain, determined posture and to act correspondingly.
