Description
Nach den Debatten über die Immaterialität um die Jahrtausendwende ist in der aktuellen künstlerischen Produktion ein erhöhtes Bewusstsein für die Materialität von Werken zu beobachten. Im Mittelpunkt der Diskussionen stehen wieder Dinge: Dinge, die berührt werden können; Dinge, die greifbare Körperlichkeit besitzen; Dinge, die auch außerhalb der menschlichen Wahrnehmung existieren - materielle Dinge. Das Buch "Performative Materiality" fasst das gleichnamige Forschungsprojekt von Michael Kargl an der Universität für angewandte Kunst zusammen. Ein Essay von Bayo Akomolafe, Autor und Kurator von "The Emergence Network2, ergänzt die textuell, visuell und performativ angelegte Recherche von Michael Kargl.
Following the debates about immateriality around the turn of the millennium, an increased awareness for the materiality of works can be observed in current artistic production. Discussions center around things again: things that can be touched; things that possess tangible corporeality; things that also exist beyond human perception - material things. The book "Performative Materiality" summarizes Michael Kargl's research project of the same name at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. An essay by Bayo Akomolafe, author and curator of "The Emergence Network", complements Michael Kargl's textual, visual and performative research.
