"The painfullness of experimentation finds response in the
animosty towards the so-called isms: Programmatic, self-concious,
and often collective art movements"
Theodor W. Adorno, Aesthetic Theory
This first seminar on the subject of ISMS: Recuperating Political Radicality 1. "Constructing the Political in Contemporary Art"focuses on the complex and problematic relationships between artistic movements, political movements, and individual works. Specific focus is placed on current dilemmas facing art production, how it is for a work to function "critically" today, and how this relates to or in fact, neglects, politics.
