Weibel, Peter : (2007) Thermocline of Art. New Asian Waves (Questions)

Thermocline of Art. New Asian Waves (ZKM, 15th Jun. - 21st Oct. 2007)Editorial

attempt to document impact of glob. on contemp. art | aims to discover a new geography of art prod. caract. by glob. expansion. | a survey on art revolut. in asia | Q: How is the contemp. art today understood in instit. in different cult.s? | Q: How does its exhibition practice differ from that of 'modern art'? | Q: Is 'Modernism' synonymous to Western hegemony and ideology of modern at large? | How's modernism represented in global art? | Does global art practice substantially change the concept of contemp. vs. modern art? | Q: Does the modern 'high/low' differenciation survive in present day culture? | [...]

Niklas Luhmann | "Only in difference does identity come about. Following it's own logic, this system of diff. prod. and exercises exclusion, [...] culture of the western world based upon exclusion" p. 9-10

The 'white cube', the 'white art' needs to be deconstructed in order to 'remap' the cult. cartography from the viewpoint of colonial criticism.

How do we legitimize art history and how ist art constructed - which are the rules and criteria?
Which 'turn' will follow the 'linguistic ~' (Rorty, 1967) or the 'iconic ~' (Burda/Maar, 2004)?

Belting | non-western contemporary art is post-historic and post-ethnic art.

Wonil Rhee (art. director of Media City Seoul Biennale, co-curator of 2006 Shanghai Biennale)
