ResearchThree-dimensional phenomena in Fine Arts are of research interest at the Department Space. Headed by Prof. Biehler, the Department Space analyses artistic methods of spatial creation and transformation, specifically in contemporary Fine Arts. Moreover, it conducts research alongside its core themes Installation - Performance - Exhibition in three major fields: ‘knowledge fields’ in arts, art in public space and mediation/ art mediation/exhibition. Prof. Biehler attends to the exchange of artistic and scientific practice from a theoretical, historical and practical perspective. The research work goes hand in hand with the definition of a research concept appropriate to the art discipline, which means that artistic research is understood as inherent to the artistic practice in all fields of study.Research field: theory and practice of art in spaceThe main research interest of the Department Space lies with the contemporary discourse about spatial phenomena and the experimental analyses of spatial and situational questions.
The research on knowledge fields in art generates a specific, art inherent knowledge by contemporary artistic practices that serve as means of understanding. More specifically, the department encloses the field of sculpture by taking aspects of temporary motion into consideration: space, light, sound and video installations as well as interventions in public space, actions and performances.
Research concept: art as researchArt as research, the guiding principle at the Department Space, examines art as a technique of knowledge generation and organisation. |
