Speculations on Anonymous Materials
Fridericianum, Kassel
Symposium and exhibition
The symposium brings together different approaches in philosophy, which in their own way all aim to go beyond modern and postmodern thinking. It is based on the following hypothesis: The fundamental technological, scientific and socio-political changes at the beginning of the 21st century have caused sharp caesuras in both philosophy and art. The Speculations on Anonymous Materials exhibition (until 26th January 2014) for the first time worldwide brings together approaches in international art that reinterpret the Anonymous Materials created by rapid and incisive technological change. It presents artistic practices that yet have to claim a place in art history and art theory-just as the philosophical approaches brought together in this symposium cannot be grasped as a single homogenous movement. Concept: Armen Avanessian, Tom Lamberty, Susanne Pfeffer, Nina Tabassomi. Participants: Maurizio Ferraris, Markus Gabriel, Iain Hamilton Grant, Robin Mackay, Reza Negarestani. Moderator: Armen Avanessian. Saturday January 4, 2014, 11-20h.
