Kunstgeschichte in English wieder! Sophistry in Art and the Artworld

Dr Great Art podcast Episode 28: Sophistry in Art
This episode concerns a troublesome yet seldom acknowledged tendency in the artworld: Sophistry. Why are you in this struggle? Are you an artist or critic or curator simply for careerist „success“? Weren’t you actually CALLED to art?

Kunstgeschichte Podcast in Englisch: Models are Not Master Narratives

The new Episode 27: an explanation of my assertion that art history models are not necessarily master narratives. Art History is often told in versions of one linear story, thus a master narrative. This often delimits thought, sustains oppressive systems and purports to be the truth, allowing no exceptions. On the other hand, the stringent fear of modeling has sometimes lead the less inventive to fall into the simple nihilism of „I give up.“ In fact, models are important dialogical tools of and for thought.
