This is the first collection of interdisciplinary scholarship to expand on gridded modalities, with a strong affinity to the arts. It seeks to inspire new avenues of research by exploring a horizon of gridded relationships among humans, between humans and the environment, and between human and non-human actors. By bringing together philosophical themes and applied practices, the volume traces a genealogy of the "grid" as an exercise in grasping its inherent complexity and incomplete quality. A collective effort by a group of researchers, practitioners, and designers, it promotes an understanding of gridded modalities as complex networks that interact with other networks, generating new meanings and reflecting changes in thought.
Collective Actions is one of the most significant artistic practices to emerge from Moscow Conceptualism. The group's enigmatic idea of 'Empty action' is the focal point for Marina Gerber's exploration of this practice in relation to labour in the late Soviet Union. Based on interviews with members of the group (Monastyrski, Panitkov, Alexeev, Makarevich, Elagina, Romashko, Hänsgen and Kiesewalter) she exposes the relation between their jobs, their individual art practices and their contribution to the collective in the context of post-Stalinist debates on labour and free time. Departing from the mundane fact that Collective Actions' practice took place in free time from work for the Soviet State, Gerber identifies Empty action as a form of 'art after work'.
Postmodernity's Musical Pasts covers topics from classical to popular and neo-traditional musics to concerns of the disciplines of musicology. Such varied topics mirror the eclectic and diverse nature of the postwar era itself.

What is the logic of design process? Departing from this question, Tiago da Costa e Silva investigates the characteristic feature of every projective activity, for instance, in architecture, design, engineering design, and in the arts. In opposition to predominant views that understand design processes as mechanical and deterministic, this study, with the help of the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce, characterizes design activities as continuous and serendipitous interplays of esthetic and abductive processes that define rules and manifest forms. Tiago da Costa e Silva concludes that invention and discovery, manifested in the form of processes of abduction, actively pervade every development in any given context of design process.
Künstlerresidenzen gelten sowohl als Aushängeschild einer zeitgemäßen dialogisierenden Auswärtigen Kulturpolitik als auch als Bausteine einer modernen individuellen Künstlerförderung. Johannes Crückeberg stellt die unterschiedlichen Aspekte des kulturpolitischen Instruments Künstlerresidenzen erstmals zur Diskussion, liefert anhand der Forschungen repräsentative Auskünfte über Stärken und Schwächen und beleuchtet die Erkenntnisse kritisch. Der Autor zeigt auf, welche Funktionslogiken im Spannungsfeld zwischen Kultur- und Außenpolitik greifen.
As the last generation of underground artists in the Soviet Union and the first on the post-Soviet scene, Moscow conceptualists provide a unique point of view on the breakup of the USSR, the changing role of unofficial art in a repressive state, and the beginning of a new world order in both art and politics. Offering a counter-narrative to the tradition of Socialist Realism that dominates Soviet art history, this book provides insight into the production and activism of the experimental artists that worked in Moscow during this watershed moment in Russian history. Based on extensive original research and in-depth interviews with the original artists, Nicholas demonstrates how the work of th...

Choreographierte Körper tanzen. Doch auf den Bühnen des 18. Jahrhunderts beginnen sie als Teil einer bürgerlichen Gesellschafts- und Kulturbildung zu agieren. In den Schauräumen des Theaters zeigen Tänzer handlungsorientierte Bewegungsgestalten, die ihre Körper zu Szenen empfindsamer Erregung figurieren. Das ballet en action entwirft den choreographierten Körper zu einem Schauplatz, der einer machtvollen Programmatik der Transgression von Empfindungen folgt: Fortan sollen die Tänzer Seelenregungen vorstellen, die sich in die Herzen der Zuschauenden spielen. Radikaler noch als im Schauspiel vollzieht der Bühnentanz einen paradigmatischen Darstellungswandel, mit dem sich ein modernes ...
