En savoir plus sur le livre
In 24 texts, the author explores the relationship between art and society, engaging with contemporary artists like Christo and theorists such as Adorno. The focus is primarily on the works of artists shaped by or shaping the Burg Giebichenstein art school, including Bernd Göbel, Ulrich Klieber, Marie-Luise Meyer (2009 Kunstpreis des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt), and Thomas Rug (2011 Kunstpreis). The unique artistic personalities and their oeuvres are linked to broader art and cultural theories, leading to the thesis of a Pavlovization and Taylorization of a sensationalized culture, coinciding with the economization and digitization of society, and a fundamental shift in the relationship between public and private spheres. Within this context, contemporary art is revealed to be in a structurally precarious situation, despite the allure of high-profile art events and the booming art market. The attention economy, fixated on fame and sensation, also permeates the art world. The realm of art is part of a cultural transmodernity, where distinctions between modernity and postmodernity begin to blur and ultimately vanish. Critical aesthetics must respond to this situation, rather than ceding the discourse to a largely affirmative media theory that merely shadows new media techniques. This book serves as that critical response.
