Performativ?

Architektur und Kunst

Editors: Margitta Buchert, Carl Zillich
German
ISBN 978-3-939633-14-3

Body and space - each is inconceivable without the other. But how does their relationship change when viewed from an architectonic, philosophical or artistic perspective? Performativ? presents the positions of key international figures, revealing insights into their creative artistic and scientific approaches. The contributors are concerned to shape physical reactions, for example, to construct volumes or examine bodies in a state of experience. The dynamic concept of reality behind these diverse starting points is shown clearly in the artworks of Thomas Bayrles, the architectonic projects of Philippe Rahm or the philosophical discourse of Heinz Paetzold. The introductory essay offers a trans-disciplinary survey; a final discussion among the contributors pinpoints productive interfaces between architecture and art.

With contributions by Margitta Buchert, Beatrix von Pilgrim, Oliver Thill, Thomas Bayrle, Maurer United Architects, Heinz Paetzold, Bernhard Leitner, Philippe Rahm und Ludger Schwarte.

German
ISBN 978-3-939633-03-7

It is well known that architecture and art have numerous points of contact and various common grounds. The volume Inklusiv. Architektur und Kunst addresses the question of the different ways in which artists, architects and theoreticians can deal with the problems of creation, perception and the adoption of (living) space, by providing numerous examples of individual contemporary works. Nine international positions – including works by artists such as Simon Ungers, Lars Spuybroek, Hannes Böhringer – are presented in detail and commented on in several illustrated essays. The introduction essay provides the necessary cross-disciplinary overview, while a discussion among the participants opens up new and surprising perspectives of architecture and art. With the friendly support of the Fritz Thyssen Foundation. 

With contributions by Simon Ungers, Claudia Meixner, Hannes Böhringer, Stephen Craig, Allison Brown, Margitta Buchert, Eberhard Eckerle, Lars Spuybroek and Klaus Englert.
