The topic was driven by questions concerning the technological
developments in music and media and their implications and cross
relation to musicology and art theory. The concept of the day is to
break normal symposium schemes and confront students/lectureres
with different opinions and approaches.
Art theory, philosophy, and musicology often approach works of art
using a variety of analytic tools and concepts; but the question is
seldom posed, "How does art react to being hermeneutically
approached?" The artist creates art. The art theorist creates
theories of art. Do the two meet? What is going on with interpretive
approaches today? How can hermeneutics today relate to art, and
where does it risk losing its object art? Can too much analysis
destroy a work of art? the unasked question that often hovers in the
corners of seminar rooms. Does art care!? Art works caught between
classroom and installation, between historical reading and aesthetic
experience; art works that stubbornly resistinterpretation... |
