"To See Or Not To See": Visual MusicReading Images – Exploring Visual Culture. Focus: Visual Music – Sound-Images and Audio-Visions A lecture-seminar exploring the field of visual culture in the tension field between visibility and invisibility. Each lesson starts with "close readings" of images from fine arts, media, sciences and/or popular culture. Our goal is not only to reveal possible meanings of images and to render them with respect to related conditions of production, publication and perception/reception. Special attention is devotet to processes of mutual exchange, gains and losses, conflicts and negotiations between different areas of visual culture and other fields of cultural activity, as well as the historical horizon of current aesthetic and social practices. Each term comes with a special thematic focus. The special focus for summer 2009 is: Visual Music. Sound-Images and Audio-Visions. The lecture-seminar is accompagnied by a series of monthly evenening events with concerts and talks: "Mind the Gap!" (Wed 8pm at Haus am Dom, Frankfurt am Main) . Additionally, a special 3 days workshop is scheduled in May ("Sounding Spaces", in cooperation with Kunstakademie Nürnberg/Interdisziplinäre Klasse Kunst und öffentlicher Raum). Please note: The original German Title – "Ich sehe was, was Du nicht siehst" (rough translation: "I see something you don't see") refers to a popular children's game. In Anglo-american cultures a similar game is known as "I spy with my little eye…" Metadata: project: Mind The Gap! |
