Matrix Moderne | Ostmoderne: Bauen, baubezogene Kunst und Formgestaltung in Ostdeutschland und dem Europa der Nachkriegszeit
Recently, modern building, art-in-architecture and design in the immediate post-war years, beginning in the 1950s, have received increasing attention, following a long period of neglect. Modern Matrix covers many modernist movements, styles and tendencies. The developments in the wake of the reconfiguration and reconstruction of Eastern Europe require an independent consideration that takes into account the specific conditions of their emergence. At the same time, the concept of Eastern modernism makes it possible to question previous standards for the appropriation of tendencies of international modernism on a European level. This volume brings together contributions from the conference of the same name at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz.
Art Criticism in Times of Populism and Nationalism: Proceedings of the 52nd International AICA Congress, Cologne/Berlin 1–7 October 2019
This publication documents the 52nd International Congress of the Art Critics Association (AICA), which met in 2019 in Cologne and Berlin to discuss the topic of Art Criticism in Times of Populism and Nationalism. More than forty speakers and moderators provided a definition of populism, addressed issues of discrimination, censorship in many countries, and the appropriation of artistic strategies in ‘right-wing’ language use. The autonomy and responsibility of art and art criticism were also thematised. The discussions reproduced here in text form reveal the full complexity of the topic.
The documentation is published in two separate German and English volumes.
