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.

The interface of art, science, and conservation is an exciting place. That's what we at the Metropolitan Museum of Art discovered in June 2002 when we hosted a three-day symposium that brought these areas together. The first such conference ever held at the Met, the Art, Biology, and Conservation 2002 meeting provided an opportunity for close to 40 scientists and conservators to present their latest research on the interactions of microbes and art, and to offer approaches to counter the effects of biodeterioration. As I noted at the time, no work of art is immune to microbial attack. Microbes, being cosmopolitan, are a threat to art collections worldwide, as they are always present in the environment, lying dormant, and waiting for the right conditions to occur so they can flourish. Such conditions include subtle environment changes, such as a temporary increase in moisture level, as well as major events, such as a water leak; both can foster an infestation within just hours. Whether this leads to serious damage depends on many factors, including the material composition of the art, the amount of water present, the species of microbe on the art, and how long conditions are favorable for growth. Once such mishaps occur, the work of scientists and conservators becomes vital, as they strive to protect our often fragile cultural heritage. The papers in this volume detail the work of the select group of biologists and conservators that came together at ABC2002 to show how they are addressing these concerns. A wonderfully diverse group, they had in common a desire to preserve the historic and the beautiful, the skills to do so, and an excitement about the whole process. I think that excitement comes through in this volume as well.

Art in the Making

Artists and their Materials from the Studio to Crowdsourcing

AutorIn: Glenn Adamson, Julia Bryan-Wilson
Jahr: 2014
Verlag: Thames & Hudson
Signatur: KUN C.0 - 309

http://bibkatalog.khm.de/F/R4Q91FNXSF8D6THM2VA1LAF2CGXRNHQUMHSS1RDLNUQLEG7L59-25077?func=full-set-set&set_number=655688&set_entry=000001&format=999

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.

Beton, Klinker, Granit

Material, Macht, Politik - eine Materialikonographie

AutorIn: Fuhrmeister, Christian
Jahr: 2001
Verlag: Verl. Bauwesen
Signatur: KUN B.7 - 34

http://bibkatalog.khm.de/F/R4Q91FNXSF8D6THM2VA1LAF2CGXRNHQUMHSS1RDLNUQLEG7L59-25494?func=full-set-set&set_number=655707&set_entry=000004&format=999

Die Studie untersucht die Bedeutung des Baumaterials anhand architektonischer Denkmäler der Weimarer Republik und des Nationalsozialismus. Sie bestätigt die These, dass die politische Aussage abstrakter, nicht-figurativer Formen vor allem durch das Material erzeugt wird. Anhand zahlreicher neuer Quellen wird die Ideologisierung natürlicher und künstlerischer Steine erstmals gründlich beleuchtet. Im Zentrum stehen Walter Gropius´ Märzgefallenen-Denkmal in Weimar (1921), Mies van der Rohes Revolutionsdenkmal in Berlin (1926) und Clemens Holzmeisters Schlageter-Denkmal in Düsseldorf (1931).

Mit zahlreichen Abbildungen. Bauten und Bauherren steht nicht nur die Form, sondern auch das spezifische Material zur Verfügung, um eine politische Aussage zu transportieren. Welch entscheidende Rolle das Material bei der Planung und Entstehung der Denkmäler der Weimarer Republik und des Nationalsozialismus spielte, macht Christian Fuhrmeister deutlich: Anhand zahlreicher, bisher vernachlässigter Quellen zu den wichtigsten Denkmälern der 20er und 30er Jahre wird der historische Kontext der Ideologisierung natürlicher und künstlicher Steine erhellt. Erstmals werden das Märzgefallenen-Denkmal von Gropius, Mies van der Rohes Revolutionsdenkmal und Holzmeisters Schlageter-Denkmal mit der nationalsozialistischen Natursteinbesessenheit eines Wilhelm Kreis oder Albert Speer in Beziehung gesetzt.
