A series of classes that combines a chronological overview and theory context with the independent profiles of important artists. looking for parallels in the fine arts and theatre (3 fine arts lectures, 1 theatre lecture). Artistic trends are related to their idea sources (modernism, marxism, pscho-analysis, post-modern, etc.) Arts and theory influence each other. Works of the 1960s require a particuarly type of „explanation“ and are understood only in a historical, social and theory context...or....Art is not a matter of like/don't like, but requires a particular requirement of thought. An artwork cannot, without the rest be explained. It has it's own hidden parts. Along with artists such as Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, Nam Jun Paike, the ideas of theorists like Theodor Adorno, Guy Debord, Walter Benjamin, Rosalind Krauss, Nicolas Bourriaud and others are presented.
Thesis: Along with the creation of pictures, scuptures or theatre plays...the conceptual creation of significance is equally fundamental.
The purpose is a bearing in contemporary graphic and theatre productions in the appropriate idea context.
