CONCEPTS
The theoretical framework of my art.
Post Autonomy
Post-autonomous art describes a mode of making art at a time when the artist's presumed autonomy has become rather problematic. A post-autonomous mode of production is no longer concerned with creating singular works of art attributable to a particular artist or author. Instead, a post-autonomous art practice employs a collaborative or dialogical mode of production, for example, via face-to-face or online dialogues, conversations or events, wikis, salons, bulletin boards, chat rooms, or collaborative visual editing environments. - A shift from producing physical objects towards enabling communications.
Gemäß der systemtheoretischen Kunstanalyse, die mit dem traditionellen Autonomiebegriff bricht, liegt bei ihrem Projekt „die Einheit des Kunstwerkes ... letztlich in seiner Funktion als Kommunikationsprogramm“ (Luhmann, 1984). Die künstlerische Qualität ist dann abhängig von der Qualität der Kommunikationen. (Lingner, 1992)
End of Exhibition Art
Given the end of Autonomy in the Arts in a broader sense, the exhibition as a mode of art makes no sense any more.
Mutuality
Art as a process of consciously leaving the final work open and incomplete. To be perfected by others in relation to others.
