Lernziele / Kompetenzen	Knowledge of avant-garde art(s), popular culture(s), their interconnections and interdependencies
Inhalte	Our time is characterized by an increasingly strong and dynamic interplay between high and low, avant-garde and pop(ular) culture, trash and treasure, kitsch and critique. There are no certainties, there is no self-evidence – revered avant-garde works in the museums may appear as trivial and retro whereas formerly frowned-upon pop artefacts may reveal an avant-garde side. Pop Art is now challenged by Art Pop and Avant Pop. Translation, transgression, transformation, appropriation, de- and recontextualization are at work at all levels of culture – at least in liberal, open societies. The islands of artists, philosophers, designers or are no longer separated – if they have ever been – but CONNECTED by the ocean of globalization and digitalization. Against this background, the seminar focuses, among others, on the strange and unlikely interconnections between avant-garde movements around 1900 and black metal music of the 1990s, concrete art and shopping bags, surrealism and ice cream commercials, Jay-Z and Picasso, Beyoncé and Pipilotti Rist, Rummelsnuff and Norwegian neo-expressionism, aquariums and the apocalypse… The list is open for suggestions by the students! P.S.: it's not about claiming: it's all the same! But rather: difference and similarity are two sides of the same coin... Joerg Scheller is an art historian, journalist and musician.
