Project “Fashion and globalisation” The project explores fashion in the context of globalisation. The first step is to provide a theoretical foundation by placing fashion as “travelling fashion” in the context of mobility and processuality of cultural practices. Fixations of culture operating for instance with ethnic ascriptions prove to be instable – they are set in motion and become blurred. The focus is on de- and recontextualisations that arise from the transcultural circulation of fashions. Travelling Fashion. Styles, Diversity, Globalisation In another step, art and fashion are explored in the context of World’s Fairs while studying their colonial entanglements. Conferences held to date: The Paris World’s Fairs – (Re-) Productions of Art and Fashion in collaboration with the Deutsches Forum für Kunstgeschichte Paris (German Centre for Art History Paris) ‘Gesamtkunstwerk World’s Fair’. Revisioning World’s Fairs in cooperation with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. |

Book project “ Postcolonial Irony. Positions of Contemporary Art/Theory” The keywords “irony” and “humour” are concepts used to discuss contemporary art. They are particularly important in the postcolonial context that examines ethnic and gender differentiations critically with a touch of irony. The project explores the visual strategies linked with these concepts for the first time and sees itself as a contribution to postcolonial visual culture studies. An often voiced reproach against postcolonial theory formation states that its point of view is still fundamentally Western, thus, perpetuating a hierarchical view of the so-called peripheries. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome this Eurocentric perspective by taking the theory formation and art production of formerly colonised countries into consideration as well. This postulate will have to be observed by using examples from various contexts to display the polyphony of the postcolonial debate, particularly as temporary art operates globally. These three key areas assist in this endeavour: 1. Mimicry of archives. Other ways to order knowledge, 2. Unbearable laughter. Cultural anthropophagy in contemporary art, 3. Inverted Orders. Hyperaffirmation of stereotypes.

Journal project „Querformat. Zeitgenössisches. Kunst. Populärkultur“ The name of the programme is reflected in the journal’s German title Querformat: It views contemporary phenomena, international art and pop culture from an unexpected, unusual angle. Cultural processes and practices are debated critically from the vantage points of art history, aesthetics, design and media studies, philosophy, sociology as well as gender and postcolonial studies. Currently the journal is being relaunched. |
