Der Stoff der Räume: Textile Raumkonzepte im französischen Interieur des 18. Jahrhunderts
In early modern European interiors, textiles played a crucial role as material and medium. Anika Reineke offers new research on the aesthetics of 18th-century art and the Rococo period, with a special focus on concepts of space, illusion, and decorative arts. By focusing on tapestries, silk wall coverings and folding screens, this transmedial study opens fresh perspectives on the shared authorship of craftsmen and artists, on visual effects of interior decoration and the ambivalent relationship between 18th-century guilds, manufactories, and academies.
Authentizität und Material. Konstellationen in der Kunst seit 1900
Contributions to this issue centre on concepts of authenticity and their relevance to art since 1900, notably the referential concepts underlying sculpture around 1900, Piero Manzoni and contemporary art techniques. Essays on the Hamburg facsimile controversy in the late 1920s, Dieter Roth and computer-based art address the relationship between originals and reproductions. Authenticity in the sense of a specific relationship between a thing and its authorship is explored by articles on connoisseurial expertise, haptic perception of the artefact and the question of authenticity in media studies discourse.
