The Elements of Drawing

© Med Badr Chemmaoui unsplash

IPODI Research Project || 01.10.2014-30.09.2016

Dr. Iris Wien

The intended study strives – from a historicizing perspective – to reconstruct the status of a phenomenon that can be referred to as “graphic marks”. Discourse on such phenomena burgeoned in the late eighteenth- and during the nineteenth-centuries especially in Britain. The proposed research will investigate deliberations and thoughts on the “smallest unit” of drawings, water colors, or prints in relation to the practice, theory, and criticism of the graphic arts.

Artistry as a paradigmatic threshold phenomenon

DFG Research Group || 2009-2015
The project aims to explore the partly competing, partly correlating conceptions of artistry and artistic creativity that existed around 1900 as a psychic and social threshold phenomenon between "delusion", "drive", mediumism and "normality" across the boundaries of different disciplinary discourses (psychiatry, art history, sociology, philosophy), art studies, sociology, philosophy), different media (predominantly texts, but also works of visual art) as well as text genres (art criticism, scientific literature, literary pamphlet, artist theory) in their entirety.
