Am kommenden Donnerstag, den 28.01.10 wird der rumänische Kurator Mihnea Mircan im Hörsaal der Kunsthoschule einen Vortrag unter dem Titel "Is Art History? (revisited)" halten. Die Veranstaltung findet als Kooperationsveranstaltung zwischen der Kunsthochschule Kassel und dem Fridericianum statt. Ab dem Sommersemester sind dann weitere Gastvorlesungen und Künstlergespräche unter der Überschrift KUNSTHALLEHOCHSCHULE PRESENTS geplant.
The talk will examine the protocols and disconnections that mediate between contemporary art and art history; it will consider art history as a possible object of institutional critique and certain works or practices whose operation is to negotiate their participation to a future discourse of art history, while questioning the mechanisms of validation and exclusion in the discipline.
