A World of Changemakers – how can a hybrid arts lecture series concept in e-learning create attitudes and shape skills as a playful and critical thinking navigator in an uncertain world? To re-create meaning is an interdisciplinary cross-sectional task of our Zeitgeist in a civil society. Our international guests represent key roles in relevant philosophical debates, non-university community art & design projects or companies as well as from the gallery or museum context.
ZHdK – A Future for the Arts | Hans-Peter Schwarz (ed.)
CHF 118.00
What do actors Bruno Ganz and Johanna Bantzer have in common with photographers Olaf Breuning and Ernst Scheidegger, or film directors Fredi M. Murer and Andrea Staka with dancer Kusha Alexi? Along with designers Adrian Frutiger and Max Bill, musicians Anne-Sophie Mutter and Yuka Tsuboi, artists Augusto Giacometti and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, and actors Gustav Knuth and Laura de Weck, they all studied at Zürich’s legendary art schools.
In August 2007, these institutions, which were previously separated by discipline, merged to form one of Europe’s most multifaceted and significant art education centers, the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). Published to mark its founding, ZHdK—A Future for the Arts recounts the history of the previous schools, examines the importance of their well-known alumni, and sets forth ambitious goals for the future of the institution. With over seven hundred color illustrations and accompanied by a companion CD and DVD, this volume traces the history of Swiss art education and features perspectives that span the entire curriculum. ZHdK—A Future for the Arts is not just a portrait of a single university, but a rendering of Swiss cultural history of the past fifty years.

What kind of relationship do we have with artificial beings (avatars, puppets, robots, etc.)? What does it mean to mirror ourselves in them, to perform them or to play trial identity games with them? Actor & Avatar addresses these questions from artistic and scholarly angles.
