Description:
Identification and empowerment
Wolfgang Ullrich
The autonomous art of modernism focussed on the experience of difference: the work of art as the other, the extraordinary, which confuses, shakes up and at best inspires corrections to the design of the self and society. In recent years, however, new forms of dealing with art have gained international dominance: Many viewers expect something unifying and community-building. They want encouragement and support, in short: identification and empowerment. Art is increasingly being linked to political, activist and even consumerist concerns. Is art thus becoming a mere energy bar for a light snack between meals - or a pioneer of a fairer society? And who still defends the autonomy of art?
Wolfgang Ullrich sharpens the post-autonomous profile and takes art, which is perhaps not so new in historical terms, to the trigger points of social discourse: Debates about the Documenta and cultural appropriation, the protest of the Last Generation and social media in the field of tension between the urge to confess and polarisation.
