Alles ist im Fluss – diese antike Weisheit feiert im durchglobalisierten Weltgeschehen fröhliche Urstände. Mobilität und Wandel sind die kategorischen Imperative der Zeit. Auch Stoffe bewegen sich rastlos über den Erdball, ebenso wie durch unsere Körper, werden fortlaufend umgestaltet und konstituieren so die materielle Welt, wie wir sie erleben. Ausgehend von diesem Befund wird eine Wissensgeschichte dieser materiellen Welt anvisiert, die nicht Strukturen, sondern stoffliche Überführungen und Umwandlungen – räumlich, zeitlich und substanziell – ins Zentrum rückt. Ohne der Versuchung zu erliegen, die Physikochemie mit ihrem elementaren Baukastenprinzip der Materie oder theoretische Figurationen aktueller Diskurse – Stoffkreislauf, Zirkulation, Stoffwechsel, Materialfluss – als historische Apriori zu setzen, entwickeln die Beiträge eine von Prozessen und Bewegungen ausgehende Natur- und Kulturgeschichte der materiellen Welt.

Artists and their Materials from the Studio to Crowdsourcing

Today, artists are able to create using multiple methods of production from painting to digital technologies to crowdsourcing some of which would have been unheard of just a few decades ago. Yet, even as our means of making art become more extraordinary and diverse, they are almost never addressed in their specificity. While critics and viewers tend to focus on the finished products we see in museums and galleries, authors Glenn Adamson and Julia Bryan-Wilson argue that the materials and processes behind the scenes used to make artworks are also vital to current considerations of authorship and to understanding the economic and social contexts from which art emerges.This wide-ranging exploration of different methods and media in art since the 1950s includes nine chapters that focus on individual processes of making: Painting, Woodworking, Building, Performing, Tooling Up, Cashing In, Fabricating, Digitizing, and Crowdsourcing. Detailed examples are interwoven with the discussion, including visuals that reveal the intricacies of techniques and materials. Artists featured include Ai Weiwei, Alice Aycock, Isa Genzken, Los Carpinteros, Paul Pfeiffer, Doris Salcedo, Santiago Sierra, and Rachel Whiteread.

From painting to digital technologies to crowdsourcing, over the last few decades the means of making artworks have become more extraordinary and diverse. Yet we rarely consider the implications of how art is made. In this wide-ranging exploration of methods and media in art since the 1950s Glenn Adamson and Julia Bryan-Wilson take the reader behind the scenes of the studio, the factory, and other sites where art is created. They show how the materials and processes used by artists are vital to considerations of authorship, and to understanding the economic and social contexts from which art emerges. Art in the Making focuses on the intersection of thinking and making through chapters focusing on a particular process: painting, woodworking, building, performing, tooling up, cashing in, fabricating, digitizing and crowdsourcing. Discussions of broader themes are woven together with detailed examples and visuals, revealing the logic involved in the choice of techniques and materials. Artists featured include Alice Aycock, Judy Chicago, Isa Genzken, Los Carpinteros, Paul Pfeiffer, Doris Salcedo, Santiago Sierra and Rachel Whiteread.
