Forensic Aesthetics

Staatliche Hochschule fuer Bildende Kuenste-Staedelschule, Frankfurt

Two Lectures. 'Boundary Studies - Are there Criteria for the Communication with Things?', by Anselm Franke investigates the role of aesthetic processes in drawing the boundaries between 'subjects', 'persons', and 'things'. Against the backdrop of a long-term research and series of exhibitions on Animism, the critic will explore different models of accounting for, variously, the 'agency', the 'social life', or the 'language' of things. 'History is a corpse' by Boris Buden reports on a case study in which a means of architectural visualisation are deployed to forensically analyse the historical process of desecularization. The method is highly rhetorical and can be directly translated into the liberal theory of secular state. One looks into history with a sort of forensic interest, as into a corpse that can provide useful information for the court proceedings. Admission free.
