lectures + dates

the consequence of infinite endings (2005)

A lecture-performance that plays with and questions the implications of this movement as a specific aesthetic strategy.Building on selected scenes from film, art and performance, the lecture-performance will navigate along the narrow margin between critical reflection and emotional engagement. In touching on the philosophical as well as on the technical aspects, it enables us to encounter these notions of the Sublime and to question their relevance for us on a personal level and in the context of our culture.

erschauern/begreifen (2008 )

a lecture-performance by Jan-Philipp Possmann and David Weber-Krebs
commisioned by and presented at Wunder der Prairie – zeitraum_exit Mannheim, 14.09.2008

Enjoying art can be an ambivalent experience. Often we get carried away by works of art by whose influence we fear or reject. This experience arises from the politics of communication. Artistic practice should not stop to question our political and aesthetic convictions. Art is created by the encounter with already existing works of art and artistic practices. As observers and objects of their lecture, the speakers explore their own uncertainty when encountering works of art history.

Supported by Gasthuis-Frascati and Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten and LISA
