Description

In the first decades of the 20th century, avant-garde concepts focused on the connection of the various design disciplines with regard to the scope between high art and everyday life. Also in the context of the increasing mediatization, globalization, and commercialization of contemporary high-tech culture, spatial concepts and spatial constellations between cause, effect, production, and reception, between place-making, concretion, and appearance, as well as in the field of movement and action forms, are being redefined and interpreted artistically. Here, the intersections of architecture and art play a central role. Beyond the dialectical perspectives of art and architecture, theory and practice, space and object, the symposium seeks concepts of design and perception that point beyond the traditional boundaries of such categorizations. By bringing together positions with approaches to ways of doing, each manifesting itself in a specific way, yet with practices that are realized and received transdisciplinarily, new cross-sectional levels emerge. The symposium aims to address the discourses and imprints of real-spatial contexts that are in a state of transition from the perspective of those acting in art, architecture and philosophy. The in-between, the contemporary condition of the connection between architecture and art will be identified in the sense of a collection of sources, potentials of perception, design and adaptation of space will be pointed out.
