Theory Tuesdays
Planning Session 2012
Theory Tuesdays is organized around an "Each One, Teach One" participatory model. It's very simple. If you would like to suggest a specific text, film or invite a visiting artist for a Theory Tuesdays session in 2012, please come to the planning session with your ideas. We will then, collectively, fill in a calendar with everyone's suggestions and begin official sessions starting in February. Below is a list of requirements to keep in mind as you prepare your suggestion(s).
1. TEXTS - Art, architecture, design, critical & social theory texts (in both English AND German).
2. FILMS - By and or about specific artists, art & design movements, etc.
3. VISITING ARTISTS - The visiting artist will be expected to present their work and engage in a discussion about their practice.
4. TRAVEL SERIES - Present your photos, stories and experiences from a specific art event (examples: Venice Biennial, Documenta, Manifesta).
AUF DEUTSCH: Theory Tuesdays is not exclusively an English language reading/discussion group. Please don't hesitate to make suggestions that are in German!

DREAMING THE MAINSTREAM
...
Art writer and science fiction novelist Mark von Schlegell will read from and discuss his forthcoming book DREAMING THE MAINSTREAM: critical fantasies of U.S. power (Merve Verlag, Berlin). The talk will propose the state of publishing today, the history and transformation of science fiction in the 21st century context -- and propose "fictocriticism" as a coherent generic response to the current cultural context.

Stockhausen at Ground Zero
Cage & Stockhausen, 1958
A few days after the World Trade Center attacks in 2001, the German avantgarde composer Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928−2007) held a press conference in which − taken out of context − he made the remark that they had been the greatest work of art. This caused great uproar and led to his condemnation by a general public who had not heard of him before. With some ten years distance, this lecture-performance will try to come to a less emotionally charged understanding of the ways in which these enigmatic comments may be interpreted.
