Evening Lectures and Discussions >Artistic Techniques<

Kuenstlerhaus, 7.30 p.m.

The 2010 evening discussions and lectures focus on the comprehensive theme of >artistic techniques<, according to the original sense of techne, and thus including artistic procedures and methods.

The history of art and art academies in the 20th and 21st centuries shows that since the advent of concept art, artistic techniques in the narrower sense of painting, graphic arts, stone sculpture or nude drawing disciplines have increasingly become obsolete, especially in the context of western culture. What techniques, then, have replaced the traditional ones? Can we still speak of artistic techniques? Are there specific artistic methods, or is artistic work now characterised by the possibility of inventing new methods and procedures? Performance, installation, video art, social and political intervention – does it make sense to analyse and teach these genres under the heading of artistic techniques? What artistic methods fulfil the demands of the relatively new field of artistic research? These are only a few of the questions to be dealt with in the discussions and lectures.
