Breathtaking Greenhouse Parastructures | Luis Berríos-Negrón [E-Book PDF]
A supplement to the Arcades Project from a Caribbean Perspective [and a call for a careful practice of epistemológica].
Doctoral Thesis in Art Technology Design
Breathtaking Greenhouse Parastructures is a doctoral work that supplements the unfinished modern opus The Arcades Project [Das Passagen-Werk]. The supplement takes the form of a sculptural, historical, and technological deposition of ‚greenhouse‘ that presently oscillates between a past-background and future-foreground to Walter Benjamin’s ‚theatrical‘ handling of the Parisian arcades.
Berríos-Negrón’s Caribbean perspective projects an oscillating treatment of ‚greenhouse‘ as a prop from which to activate the following question: is colonial memory the drive of Global Warming? That core question has led to retrospectively hypothesise that the technology of ‚greenhouse‘ is—beyond metaphor—the illusory (dis)embodiment of the toxic binaries of interior & exterior that are still shaping Western technological frameworks, no less the natural sciences (and their histories). Because of that illusory, spectral, if paranormal power, ‚greenhouse‘ becomes at once the Western colonial enframing to both the messianic promise for conserving biological history, as well as the messianic remedy to suppress the traumata that are destining Global Warming. That potent (dis)embodied character leads Berríos-Negrón to set ‚greenhouse‘ as primary site to the geological timeline of the Anthropocene, as well as research specimen for a careful, life-affirming study and practice of object-relations and display he calls epistemológica.
Luis Berríos-Negrón is the first doctoral student to complete his PhD on the KTD programme, a collaborative transdisciplinary PhD programme established in 2015 between Konstfack and The Royal Institute of Technology, KTH.
This doctoral work has been made possible by the Konst Teknik Design / Art Technology Design doctoral programme between the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design of Sweden. The publication has also been funded by the Research Focus in Transdisciplinarity Programme of the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK).
Künstlerische Forschung. Ein Handbuch | Jens Badura, Selma Dubach et al. (Hg.)
CHF 45.00
Die Debatte um »Künstlerische Forschung« hat einen hohen Grad an Differenzierung erreicht, sei es in ihrer allgemeinen, theorieorientierten Dimension, sei es auf der Ebene der Praxis des künstlerischen Forschens selbst. Alles deutet darauf hin, dass sich die Künstlerische Forschung an der Schwelle zu einer Institutionalisierung befindet. Ziel des Bandes ist es nicht nur, eine Bestandsaufnahme der unterschiedlichen Frage- und Themenstellungen zu erstellen, sondern auch jene Kontroversen abzubilden, aufgrund derer man den Prozess einer vorschnellen »Disziplinierung« der künstlerischen Forschung kritisch betrachten mag. Entlang einiger Leitfragen entwirft der Band eine Topographie des gesamten Feldes der Debatte um künstlerische Forschung.

This is not a Gardening Book | Wander M. van Baalen, Jana Thierfelder, Patrick Müller (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
The cultivation of transdisciplinary practices. A work by many
This is not a Gardening Book collects essays and glossary entries that open new pathways for doing more-than-disciplinary educational work. The contributors to this volume – students, scholars, and artists from a diverse range of intellectual and disciplinary backgrounds – explore the transformative potential of education that does not stop at disciplinary and institutional borders. The book is meant to be taken up as a “tool to think with”. May it serve as a catalyst for thinking about and experimenting with new modalities of transdisciplinary teaching and learning.

Untersuchungen zum Theater mit nicht professionellen Darstellenden der deutschsprachigen Schweiz
Forschungsbericht zum SNF/DORE-Forschungsprojekt
Die Studie untersucht das aktuelle Freilichttheaterschaffen im Hinblick auf künstlerische Entwicklungen bezüglich Spiel, Regie und Autorschaft, regionalwirtschaftliche Effekte sowie kulturpolitische Aspekte. Sie zeigt auf, dass Freilichttheater eine höchst leistungsfähige und flexible Form des Theaters ist, wenn der Autorschaft der nicht professionellen Darstellenden und jener des Spielorts gebührend Rechnung getragen werden.
