Vorlesung techné
Lecture techné
In autumn, the DFG research group Dimensions of techné will begin its work, which is concerned with artistic work processes and the factors that make these work processes possible. These include the techniques and materials used in production, but also the procedural knowledge that is passed on in texts or illustrations, the art theory that formulates the evaluation standards for technical achievements, and the narratives that charge artistic action with meaning. In order to make these questions fruitful for teaching, despite current limitations, we are organising an inter-university lecture in which the group's projects as well as projects from their environment will be presented, illuminating 'art-making' from different perspectives.
Inter-university lecture on aspects of artistic production.

Built Images. Architecture and Social Change in Eastern Europe between 1500 and 2000
Lecture series as part of the lecture series Art and Technology (winter semester 2017/2018)
No other artistic medium is expected to have such a lasting aesthetic and symbolic effect as architecture: it should convincingly present political and private claims, usually in monumental form, while at the same time functioning as a building and guaranteeing its permanent presence through the use of appropriate materials and techniques. In eastern Central Europe, a large region already characterised by cultural diversity, the political, social and confessional conflicts over the centuries produced a highly heterogeneous architecture with distinct visual qualities, the study of which requires a detailed historical perspective beyond aspects of architectural history.
The lectures in the lecture series will examine the expectations to which buildings and their architecture were subjected and how they fulfilled them on the basis of a wide range of examples from 1500 to the year 2000. Among others, the construction of the Jesuit Church in Poznan, urban planning objectives in Gdansk and the redesign of the Collegium Maius of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow after the Second World War will be discussed; experts from the universities in Gdansk, Poznan, Krakow and Leipzig have been invited.
The lecture series is organised within the framework of the Professorship for the Arts in East Central Europe funded by the Federal Commissioner for Media and Culture on the basis of a resolution of the German Bundestag.

Stories from the production. Contemporary artists in conversation
Lecture series in summer semester 2016
In contemporary art, production processes are often deliberately made visible in the work. The technically perfect work has been replaced by an aesthetic of production. And in art theory and art studies, too, there is a renewed interest in concrete production conditions in the contemporary world of work.
The lecture series takes these developments as an opportunity to talk to contemporary artists about the material production and realisation of their works. What role do technical production processes play in the conception of the work? What do production processes look like today, when autonomous creation in the studio is losing importance? How are collaboration and the division of labour organised in concrete terms? What role do the historical narratives of technical processes play, which can be taken up and confirmed, but also changed and reinterpreted? What poetics do certain (retro) techniques open up for reception? And what subversive possibilities does technology offer for breaking down binary gender orders?
In conversation, artists explain their working methods, their handling of technology and provide insights into the processes of production with photography, film, printing techniques, painting and other media.

Material-aesthetic perspectives on media in contemporary art
Lecture series as part of the lecture series Art and Technology (summer semester 2014)
A glittering sea of thousands of slides, the sound of rattling film projectors, black irregular webs from the inkjet printer. For some time now, contemporary art has again been increasingly staging the material foundations of technical images, resulting in an emphasis on the sensual quality of apparatus, image carriers and other equipment in the staging in the exhibition space. This is more than nostalgia in the face of technical progress and the rapid obsolescence of technical systems that accompanies it. The artistic examination of the special materiality of technical media has a history that goes back to the 19th century. The lectures in the lecture series deal with this history and current developments from different perspectives that include curatorial and artistic practice in addition to art studies.
