Announcement: 16.01.-18.01.2020 Conference »Forces of Form and Movement«
18 December 2019
Engaging with forces is an integral part of artistic processes. Pull and push, gravity and levitation, imprint and pressure already pertain to a concrete handling of material. Kinesis and motor activity, motion and emotion take effect in dance, theatre, film, and literature. In classical rhetoric, for example, energeia, vis and movere designate the performance and potential of speech; notions which have also been used in order to describe the effects of poetry and painting.
Which anthropological and psychological concepts of perception are at play here? In what way do the arts fashion themselves in constant interaction - be it of manipulation, exploration, or self-comparison - with forces of form and movement at work in nature?
