"My compositions have no concept. That's my concept. I just see them as a tool that stirs up the minds or consciousness of the people listening. I've never felt that a performer did injustice to my pieces, for a composition only comes to life in the particular context, the combination of the performer and the atmosphere of the public. I like to compose not only for instruments, but for "things" as well. Sound of things can be surprising, especially their artificial sound. For example, without looking, one would never guess that my tapping and dragging fingers across the surface of a cigar box that is connected to a laptop for what it is." (Tetsuya Hori)

Titelergänzung: The dematerialization of the art object from 1966 to 1972 : a cross-reference book of information on some esthetic boundaries : consisting of a bibliography into which are inserted a fragmented text, art works, documents, interviews, and symposia, arranged chronologically and focused on so-called conceptual or information or idea art with mentions of such vaguely designated areas as minimal, antiform, systems, earth, or process art, occurring now in the Americas, Europe, England, Australia, and Asia (with occasional political overtones), edited and annotated by Lucy R. Lippard.
In Six Years Lucy R. Lippard documents the chaotic network of ideas that has been labeled conceptual art. The book is arranged as an annotated chronology into which is woven a rich collection of original documents—including texts by and taped discussions among and with the artists involved and by Lippard, who has also provided a new preface for this edition. The result is a book with the character of a lively contemporary forum that offers an invaluable record of the thinking of the artists — a historical survey and essential reference book for the period.

Independent. Contemporary. Art. 24 April – 31 May 2015.
OFF-Biennale Budapest is a series of exhibitions and art events in and beyond the city of Budapest. Its concept is different from traditional biennials as we know them. Not affiliated with any institution, it is a voluntary collaborative initiative of artists, groups of artists, curators, art managers, gallerists and collectors. OFF-Biennale Budapest is a civil initiative, whose aim is to bring a segment of culture, contemporary art, closer to the public at large. OFF proclaims the importance of independent thinking and action, breaking away from clichés and habitual routines. It is meant to demonstrate that contemporary art can foster and catalyse this kind of activity – in other words, that contemporary art is much more than mere luxury and a source of aesthetic pleasure.

As a pioneer in the field of Media Arts research, the ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART (ADA) documents the rapidly evolving field of digital installation art for more than a decade now. This complex, research-oriented overview of works at the intersection of art, science, and technology has been developed in cooperation with international media artists, researchers and institutions, as a collective project.
Since todays digital artworks are processual, ephemeral, interactive, multimedia-based, and fundamentally context dependent, because of their different structure, they require a modified, we called it an ‚expanded concept of documentation‘. ADA represents the scientific selection of 500 international artists of approx. 5.000 evaluated artists. We ascribe high importance to artistic inventions like innovative interfaces, displays or software.

This award-winning contemporary art book is made completely from the perspective and language of bugs, from the front page to the final chapter, with no human writing and text, only the "writing" of bugs. Inspired by the marks left behind by a cicada walking across his sketchbook, contemporary artist Zhu Yingchun placed boards and "ink ponds" of dark-coloured vegetable juices in his garden for the bugs to crawl through. The resulting marks, were thousands of twisted characters, each with a charm of its own - the language of the bugs. The accompanying booklet explains the artist's concept and QR code links the reader to a video of the process.
"The bugs seem insignificant, but their strokes are beautiful," says Zhu Yingchun. "Art is not just those pieces hanging on walls and placed in exhibition halls. Everything in the world, including every life in nature, has the power to create beauty, and art is all around us.

Die konventionelle Fotografie spielt sich nach Krauss innerhalb des Mediums ab und entwickelt eine medienimmanente Sprache, die lediglich Anregungen von der Kunst erhält. In der konzeptionellen Fotografie ist sie nicht Selbstzweck, sondern Medium zur Realisierung von künstlerischen Vorstellungen. Die »Kunst mit Fotografie« äußerte sich erstmalig in den Experimenten der 20er Jahre als Fotogramm, Fotomontage und Fotocollage und fand ihre Fortsetzung durch das Einbeziehen der Fotografie bei Pop Art, Happening und Concept Art

Hipgnosis created some of the most innovative and surreal cover art of the 1960s, 70s, and early 80s for the biggest names of the era—Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Wings, Yes, Genesis, 10cc, Peter Gabriel, Bad Company, Syd Barrett, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
The sublime prism cover for Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon continues to be one of the most pervasive images in all popular culture. Hipgnosis’s highly conceptual approach and graphic appeal earned them five Grammy nominations for cover design, and they profoundly influenced not only the history of music, but also all other creative fields from advertising to fashion.
Hipgnosis Portraits explores an endless stream of creative ideas in two sections. Part I, "Imagination," tells the story behind the artwork from germination through to the final sleeve design, supported by a wide array of archival materials. Part II, "Realization," contains beautiful and extremely photographic portraits of the musicians the agency counted as clients. Several of these images were taken but not used for projects and have remained buried in archives ever since.
The book is filled with playful, abstract compositions from a remarkably prolific collective that redefined the possibilities of concept-driven art and design.

Dear Reader,
In your hands is the Athenian issue of Krytyka Polityzcna. The Warsaw-based journal unites polymorphous freedom struggles in geographic Europe. This book is an anarchist, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist artwork. A hypothesis, and yet one that continues to be written actively on the ground. It clashes migration and education of the status quo, the effect and the cause of current violence.
The publication documents an initiative, Universitas*, and accompanies the forthcoming Symposion, The School of Everything.
This book contains the contributions of people who have recently moved to Athens from the Middle East, of Athenians who have lived here a long time, as well as of those who are based in Berlin but frequently visit Athens. brought together, they form a de-elitized and de-colonized remix of knowledge.
The chapters in this book are intertwined and in each part the reader will find contributions relevant to the whole. The authors are all united by their portrayal in anti-phrenological drawings.
In Athens, despite the invention of the State, streams of interlapping cultural influences never stopped pulsating. Such an experience of fluid identity demonstrates that citizenship is an outdated concept of class separation and nationalism. The devastating contradiction: human rights are only valid in the economically privileged zones. The failure to collaborate with the revolution in Syria dispels the last illusions of an occidental civilization and unveils the truth: we all live in the absolute financial dictatorship.
This publication includes several essays and statements on education. These are written by thinkers, philosophers, “activists”, and artists who are affiliated with the Avtonomi Akadimia, a disobedient grassroots university in Athens which claims education as a form of art. These texts, poems, manifestos and sketches of educational models are published in lieu of the abstracts for an upcoming Symposion entitled: “The School of Everything”.
We build an educational system which consists of indignant initiatives for sharing knowledge, and of proposals by thinkers who see education as key. We shift from learning to sharing. We decriminalize sharing because we would like to enjoy the pleasure of giving. We liberate ourselves from the strictures of “Homo Sapiens”, a construct imposed upon life.
We will transform the educational system of Europe.
The clash of migration and education will release a Promethean fire.

Makulatur, a German word that derives from lat. maculatura ’something stained’, refers to misprinted paper that is discarded at the beginning of the printing process as use- and worthless. In 2010, the graphic designer Manuel Raeder started to collect and preserve misprinted sheets of all the publications he designed not only for his own publishing house BOM DIA BOA TARDE BOA NOITE but also for fellow artists and institutions.

Katalog zur Ausstellung DAS TREFFEN DREIER PUNKTE, 01.-31.07.2019, Berlin, im Rahmen von INTERIORS TO BEING.
INTERIORS TO BEING takes visitors and invited artists into an intimate encounter within the homes, gardens and streets of Berlin as well as the lives of strangers.
Text von der Webseite.
INTERIORS TO BEING spans time and space as a collective happening through the cityscape of Berlin. Six curators from Berlin have developed formats around the specifics of the work of a total of 51 artists and curators. The chosen formats range from traditional exhibitions, walks, salons and discussions to gatherings and performances.
The project unfolds over the course of the month of July in six chapters that flow into one another, occasionally overlapping. INTERIORS TO BEING expands radically outwards, realizing half of its projects in Berlin’s public space.
The city of Berlin is a partner of INTERIORS TO BEING as any curator or participating artists in the program would be. The cityscape functions anthropomorphically–with the city’s growth and continual change impacting the way artists move within it. INTERIORS TO BEING internalizes these changes through the framework of its community. All contributors to INTERIORS TO BEING are part of the extensive creative network of PICTURE BERLIN (founded in 2009, a not-for-profit artist initiated hybrid residency/art academy), which is a community made up of more than two hundred international artists and curators, two-thirds of whom are based in Berlin.
The red thread running through all events is the dérive, a term devised by Situationist Guy Debord to describe an aimless wandering through different urban environments that leads to the development of a psycho-geographical awareness. This concept beautifully sums up the way INTERIORS TO BEING works as a project in the city of Berlin.

Abstract: Die Handlungen, die Bücher immer fordern, zum Beispiel Nehmen oder Weglegen, Aufschlagen oder Seiten-Betrachten, werden bewusst, wenn Künstler wie Sol LeWitt oder Clegg & Guttmann ihre Rezipienten auffordern, mit Büchern wirklich etwas zu tun. Ihre künstlerischen Handlungsanweisungen sind nicht zu verwechseln mit Künstlerbüchern, wo Künstler nicht nur Texte illustrieren, sondern mit den Möglichkeiten, die Bücher bieten, ihre künstlerischen Vorstellungen überhaupt erst entwickeln. – Während Bücher und Bibliotheken heute scheinbar an Bedeutung verlieren, wird das Medium Buch von Künstlern, geradezu umgekehrt proportional, besonders kommentiert. – Die künstlerischen Handlungsanweisungen mit Büchern haben ihren Vorläufer bei Marcel Duchamp, der bei seinem Unhappy Readymade 1917 dazu aufforderte, ein Geometriebuch auf den Balkon zu hängen, so dass der Wind seine Probleme darin finden konnte. Hier ist die Assoziation an das Buch Kohelet richtig – und damit eine Reflexion darüber, was überhaupt getan wird, was wer warum tut, was Bestand hat, was flüchtig ist.

Begleitpublikation zur Installation in der Rotunde der Pinakothek der Moderne in München, 29.03.-27.08. 2023
Am 28. März wurde „One Million German Passports“, eine Installation des Künstlers Alfredo Jaar in der Rotunde der Pinakothek der Moderne eröffnet. Eine Million deutsche Pässe sind hier dicht an dicht zu einem Kubus von 6m x 6m x 80cm gestapelt, hinter einer gläsernen Hochsicherheitswand zu sehen. Die Zahl referiert, laut Alfredo Jaar, auf die Zahl der Menschen, die die ehemalige Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel 2015 in Deutschland willkommen hieß. Sie soll aber auch an die Zahl der Menschen erinnern, die sich später von ihr und ihrer Partei, der CDU, distanzierten und 2017 die rechtsextreme Partei AfD wählten. Alfredo Jaar bezieht sich in diesem polarisierenden Werk über die Situation in Deutschland und Europa hinaus auch ganz allgemein auf die globale Migration und berührt damit grundsätzliche Fragen zu Flucht, Einwanderung und Staatsbürger:innenschaft.
Eine solch politisch und gesellschaftlich herausforderndes Werk kann als engagierte Concept Art verstanden werden und erfordert in seiner minimalistischen Ästhetik nach einer Kontextualisierung. Dazu veröffentlicht das Architekturmuseum der TUM eine 20 Seiten starke Zeitung mit 15 Beiträgen von internationalen Expert:innen, Wissenschaftler:innen und Schriftsteller:innen
