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.

New Art History Podcast in English: „Artists Create New Metaphors to Live By“

My newest Dr Great Art podcast, Episode 26: „Artists Create New Metaphors to Live By“
My Artecdote this episode is the an explanation of my assertion that „Artists Create New Metaphors to Live By.“ Under the inspiration of Lakoff, Johnson and Turner’s Cognitive Metaphor Theory, I describe my assertion that artists create for themselves new metaphors to live by, by creating new metaphors to create with, which viewers can then also use to think with and live by. This I refer to as artists’ metaphor(m)s or central tropes.

Dr Great Art New Podcast (in English): Mongrel and Democratic Art

Mongrel Art! Democratic Art! This Dr great Art Artecdote Podcast is a description of and plaidoyer for a (Post-Postmodernist) art that is anti-purist, syncretistic, and creolized, unifying a variety of artforms, disciplines, tendencies and philosophies. Artworks involving popular or democratic and street artforms outside the „standard“ fine art ones, yet also not eschewing either so-called time-honored, nor technologically „new“ disciplines, as it seeks to revitalize and transform them all, while opening the art system and deliberately involving people outside the field of art in artistic processes.
