FOA-FLUX examines the concepts of Contemporary Art, Tourist Art, World Art and the like, therefore contributing to the debate on art in a global context.

What are the differences between the various phenomena and their reference systems?

dps_Drawing and Painting Strategies

By Dominique Lämmli, MAF students and guests | Zurich University of the Arts, MA Fine Arts.
Currently, the notions of drawing and painting are undergoing a re-categorisation. For centuries drawing and painting have been technically highly diverse. This diversity has broadened immensely during the last hundred year—technically as well as medial. “DPS_DRAWING & PAINTING STRATEGIES” invites artists to talk about their strategies from a practical point of view. The program is conducted together with galleries and institutions.

Kunstkontexte sind vermehrt Räume zur Verhandlung von Fragestellungen und Debatten,die sich etwa mit Blick auf aktuelle politische Verhältnisse und Entwicklungenstellen oder unter dem Label Forschung geführt werden – um nur zwei Beispiele zunennen. Im Seminar wollen wir entlang von Fallbeispielen und vor allem mit Blick auf die eigenen Arbeiten gemeinsam untersuchen, welche sich verändernden Kunst– und künstlerischen Selbstverständnisse hinter diesen Entwicklungen stehen, wodurch Kunstkontexte heute eine spezifische Weise der Verhandlung ermöglichen, wie durchlässig die Grenze zwischen Diskursen innerhalb und ausserhalb vonKunstkontexten ist und was dies für das Verhältnis von Kunst und Nicht-Kunst bedeutet Kunstkontexten ist und was dies für das Verhältnis von Kunst und Nicht-Kunst bedeutet. Das Seminar umfasst neben Arbeitseinheiten mit Präsentationen und Diskussion eine Exkursion und schliesst auch die Abfassung eines schriftlichen Statements zum Thema ein, bei dem die eigene Positionierung formuliert und reflektiert werden soll.
Freitag 27.2. 10 – 13 Uhr | Dienstag 3.3. 10 – 13 Uhr | Dienstag 17.3. 10 – 13 Uhr | Dienstag 21.4. Exkursion, ganztägig | Dienstag 28.4. 10 – 13 Uhr | Dienstag 12.5. 10 –13 Uhr.

In the past decades, contemporary art’s cross-media practice led to an enormous extension of the notions of “drawing” and “painting”. Various media and techniques are used to outline different contents. From a practical point of view, it is most interesting to know how and why artists apply certain strategies of drawing and painting. In short presentations and in conversation with Daniel Morgenthaler, Koka Ramishvili, Claudia Comte and Michael Günzburger will reflect on these aspects of their work.
