The exhibition “Notation” by the ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe and the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, is dedicated to the spectrum of diverse artistic processes existing between the conception and the work. The exhibition places works from all areas of art, from 1900 to the present in relation to one another: sign systems for literature, music, painting, choreography, architecture, photography, film and media art.
Over 500 positions from more than 100 artists drawn from international collections, from the ZKM | Karlsruhe and from the archive of the Akademie der Künste will be exhibited.
In the alliance between scientific calculation and artistic form, the artists of the 20th century have continued to make new realities visible.
Morphic resonances, serial structures and sound waves: modernity has discovered the intellectual dimension to existence, to immaterial phenomena, and the ephemeral as a field of research in art. In the process, the relationship between concept, recording, repetition and work has been determined in a radically new way, the design processes have themselves become autonomous works of art.
Curated by Hubertus von Amelunxen, Dieter Appelt and Peter Weibel.
In collaboration with Angela Lammert and Bernhard Serexhe.
