Artists and cultural practitioners are confronting the social, political and ecological crises of the present with specific practices whose transformative potential has been widely discussed by art and cultural institutions in recent years. Aspects of ยปrepairยซ, ยปhealingยซ and ยปpreparationยซ in particular have also become the focus of art theory debates. These approaches often go far beyond simply pointing out grievances and disaster scenarios. Rather, they explore new approaches that aim to create a space for dialog, understanding, consolation, reparation and empowerment. Implicitly and explicitly, these practices always use, assume and formulate different and differentiating concepts of time. They use time as a material or as a resource, always shaping or forming it in the first place. In preparation for the 2024 annual conference, the study group will discuss texts on theories of time that are relevant to contemporary artistic practices.
