Gedankengeflechte - Ein philosophischer Blick durch abstrakte und organische Kunst
Exhibition by Julie Pelletier (independent artist) and Julien Bernard (philosopher, Zukunftskolleg) from 21.5. until 14.6.2015 in the BildungsTURM in Konstanz
How can a work of contemporary visual art be read and enriched by a philosophical interpretation?
How, conversely, can a work of contemporary visual art provide new contents of thought, in order to update philosophical reflection?
The adoption of common themes enables a dialogue between the two disciplines.
Julie Pelletier’s artistic work is the source of this exhibition project. Recurring themes with important philosophical meanings have been selected and arranged within the classical general category of the Form/Matter duality. The modernity of the plastic-artistic processing sheds a new light on these traditional notions that inhabits philosophy.
Therefore, a text has been produced in response to the artistic processing of those themes, supplying a philosophical point of view on the different problematics, and a conceptual analysis of the artworks. The text has been integrated into the exhibition space. The aim is to stage the evolution of the philosophical reflections about the artworks.
