Abstract

Gott ist tot! Nur welcher? Schon lange sind die Traueranzeigen für einen Gott im Umlauf, den wir uns als übermächtigen Agenten oder als souverän existierenden Geist im quasi-raumzeitlichen Jenseits vorstellen. Eine sich atheistisch verstehende Theologie macht gegen alle zeitgenössischen Versuche theistischer Revisionen mit der Grablegung Gottes ernst. Zugleich wendet sie sich gegen Programme, die den religiösen Glauben auf eine moralische Lebensführung, einen seelischen Zustand oder ein ganz bei sich bleibendes Selbstverhältnis reduzieren. Die atheistische Alternative wird sichtbar, wenn der religiöse Glaube als eine konkrete Perspektive auf alles, was uns umgibt, verstanden wird. Nichts Neues jenseits der Welt wird dann behauptet, sondern eine ganz neue Sicht auf diese eine Welt eingeübt. Was das konkret heißen kann, veranschaulicht dieser Essay und macht deutlich, dass der Atheismus nicht den Sinn des Glaubens verneint – im Gegenteil: Atheismus und der Glaube an Gott schließen sich nicht aus. Vielmehr präzisiert der Atheismus, was es mit Gott noch heute auf sich haben kann.

Abstract

This monograph is a comprehensive tribute to the Polish-Belgian artist Tapta (Maria Wierusz-Kowalska). Her work transcends traditional artistic boundaries, captivating audiences with her innovative exploration of fluid spaces and dynamic interactions. Her work, an important contribution to twentieth century sculpture, is essentially divided into two major sections: the textile works of the 1960s to 1980s and the subsequent neoprene works of the last years of her life. Her practice moved away from traditional weaving through experimental techniques and evolved into three-dimensional works-first made of cords, then of neoprene sheets-that interacted with the space and the viewer. TAPTA (*1926-1997) was born in Poland and came to Belgium as a political refugee with her husband, Krzysztof Wierusz-Kowalski, after taking part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. She studied weaving at the La Cambre National School of Visual Arts, Brussels, from where she graduated in 1949. Shortly afterwards, the couple moved to the Belgian Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo), where they lived from 1950 to 1960. On their return to Belgium in 1960, until her sudden death in 1997, she worked in Brussels as an artist and-from 1976 until 1990-as a professor at La Cambre. (Verlagsangaben)

Abstract

The artist group Brücke is Germany’s most important contribution to international modernism. The group was formed in Dresden in 1905 by four young architecture students: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Otto Bleyl, Erich Heckel, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Together they developed a painting style with vivid colors, simplified forms, and large color fields that express internal feelings rather than reproducing an external reality. The group disbanded in 1913, but their collaboration and marketing strategies have been inspirational for several generations of artists. These young artists wanted to renew art and life in the German Imperial Empire and break with the prevailing moral norms of the day. They were interested in topics like man and nature; the naked body; portraits; self-portraits; the merging of life and art; and life in the vibrant metropolis of Berlin. In a time like the present, when a young generation feels the need for a new way of living, thinking, and organizing, reflecting on Brücke feels particularly relevant.

Abstract

What happens if you take the conceptual essence of a design that has worked well in one place and invest it in another? This is the scenario proposed by Berlin Transfer. Inverting the direction in which knowledge has been exported since colonial times, the book reveals the potential of architectural and urban design concepts from the Global South to inform unconventional approaches of urban development in the northern hemisphere.The second volume of the series, Hybrid Modernities, invests a sensual reading of Brazilian hedonistic modernism to challenge the generic, if not austere appeal of Berlin’s modernist housing complexes. By applying strategies of extension, insertion and reprogrammation to existing buildings, the book exposes an unlikely contextual potential of generic urban prototypes from Berlin’s post-war era.
