Content description

We will discuss and capture the experience of artistic work with the concept “event”. For this we will include Michael Hampe's account of the Tunguska event and Isabelle Stengers' philosophy of process. Complementary to this are visits of current exhibitions. There we will develop dense descriptions of individual artworks orally, in writing and visually. Please send me your suggestions for exhibition visits and individual works by August 25.

The texts Michael Hampe, ”Tunguska or the end of Nature” (translated by Michael Winkler, Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2015) and Isabelle Stengers, “Thinking with Whitehead” (translated by Michael Chase, Cambridge/Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2011) will be made available on Paul at the end of August.

Guest speaker: Michael Hampe
