Wochenklausur – From the Object to the Concrete Intervention [Art]

, , delicious – July 22, 2009 § 0

Looking back, the idea of “altering social relationships by altering form” appears a little naive. Of course attitudes and habits, thinking patterns and value standards can be marginally influenced through forms. The whole advertising field is sustained by this thesis. But people’s ideological principles, their worldviews and values can not really be changed through colors, sounds and forms | For Situationists and Lettrists what came after the destruction was of lesser importance. Path was the goal, and goal was conflict with high culture | 1970s artists wanted to make contributions to improving coexistence: in psychology and sociology, with healing methods or in incarceration. Avant-garde wanted to choose living localities for their creation, to stop working for eternity, and to address more than just the educated classes of the public | Social renewal is a function of art after art of treating surfaces. It makes more sense to improve the carrying structure before improving surface
