Vielen Dank an den Autor, Kritiker & Künstler Habib William Kherbek für sein Online-Seminar TRANSFORMATIONAL GRAMMARS: A HISTORY OF LANGUAGE IN ART und die Diskussion der Beiträge unserer Teilnehmer*innen innerhalb des Studioprogrammes am BAI | Kunstschule, Kunstinkubator, Artist in Residence und Live Online-Kurse & Klassen in Berlin.
„This course examines the interplay of visual art and language over the last century. The course will begin by exploring the use and positioning of language in early conceptualism, and it will conclude by reviewing contemporary developments in the relationship between art, language, and machine learning systems.
Views of the relationship of art and language have evolved considerably since the early days of conceptual art, during which the role of the title in an artwork came to take on an enhanced significance. The dialogue between, and about, language and visual art has involved various partisans, some arguing that language and art are inimical to each other, others that they are part of a continuum, other still contending that they are all irreducibly entangled. The course will examine these historical philosophical positions, and involve readings from the philosophy of language as well as art theory.
Works and artists to be discussed in the course will include Marcel Duchamp, Marcel Broodthaers, Art and Language, Joseph Kosuth, Jenny Holzer, Mira Schendel, Ryan Trecartin and Lizzie Fitch, Laura Owens, Hito Steyerl, and many others.“ (Text: Courtesy Habib William Kherbek)
