Zwedschgermännla - Ein fränkischer Adventskalender 2017 (3869138270)

In der Welt der Zwedschgermännla gehört Jakob Bemmerlein zu den Göttern: Er erschafft sie und bietet sie auf dem Christkindlesmarkt in Nürnberg feil. Seine Schöpfungen könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein, leben jedoch gleichwohl friedlich und einträchtig unter dem Dach des Marktstandes am Schönen Brunnen. Doch als Bemmerlein sich eines Tages zur Kreation zweier Zwedschgermännla versteigt, die den größten Gegensatz repräsentieren, der in der fränkischen Scheinidylle möglich ist, drohen zu mitternächtlicher Geisterstunde Mord und Totschlag.

Essays consider recent artistic and critical approaches to materiality, focusing on the moments when materials become willful actors and agents within artistic processes. Materiality has reappeared as a highly contested topic in recent art. Modernist criticism tended to privilege form over matter--considering material as the essentialized basis of medium specificity--and technically based approaches in art history reinforced connoisseurship through the science of artistic materials. But in order to engage critically with the meaning, for example, of hair in David Hammons's installations, milk in the work of Dieter Roth, or latex in the sculptures of Eva Hesse, we need a very different set of methodological tools. This anthology focuses on the moments when materials become willful actors and agents within artistic processes, entangling their audience in a web of connections. It investigates the role of materiality in art that attempts to expand notions of time, space, process, or pa...
