Methodology of researching historical exhibitions (16 - 17 March 2023)
The project Beyond Matter wishes to announce two workshops that will
take place at the ZKM in the context of the exhibition "Matter.
Non-Matter. Anti-Matter." Museum professionals, cultural practitioners,
and researchers are invited to join the workshops that are organized in

Workshop 1: Interdisciplinarity in curatorial networks
23 - 24 February 2023
The exhibition "Matter. Non-Matter. Anti-Matter" deals with the
reconstruction of historical exhibitions, focusing on virtual 3D models
of the exhibitions Les Immatériaux (Centre Pompidou, 1985) and
Iconoclash (ZKM | Karlsruhe, 2002). Both projects sought to develop the
exhibition concepts and contents through specially constructed
interdisciplinary networks of artists, scientists, and curators. This
workshop explores the different structures that such interdisciplinary
curatorial networks can take, and discusses them in light of the
concepts and the results that they engender. The goal will be to reflect
on the recent research about these two exemplary exhibitions and to
broaden the scope for addressing the questions they raised about
interdisciplinarity in art and science.
On the afternoon of Thursday 23 Feb, the invited speakers will present
exemplary cases of interdisciplinary curatorial networks, followed by an
in-depth discussion with participants and the audience on Friday 24 Feb.
Invited presenters:
Barbara Vanderlinden, Daniel Tyradellis, Beatrice von Bismarck, Gabriele
Gramelsberger, Bassam El Baroni
Workshop 2: Methodology of researching historical exhibitions
16 - 17 March 2023
For more than three decades, art history and science studies have
increasingly engaged in researching exhibitions as the sites and the
media of production, presentation, and negotiation. This workshop
discusses the methods of the comparative study and description of
exhibition histories with regard to the examples of Les Immatériaux and
Iconoclash. It evaluates aesthetic, epistemological, and political
aspects and the meanings generated by the ensembles of curators,
networks, and exhibits that constitute such exhibition projects. Another
focus is placed on the investigation of the medial conditions of
historical exhibitions, and on the relationship between medial and
methodological innovations.
On the afternoon of Thursday 16 March, the invited speakers will present
exemplary historical exhibitions, followed by an in-depth discussion
about research methodologies with participants and the audience on
Friday 17 March.
Invited presenters:
Francesca Gallo, Lucy Steeds, Jérôme Glicenstein, Marcella Lista, Luise
Reitstätter, Kai-Uwe Hemken
Organised and moderated by
Lívia Nolasco-Rózsás and Felix Koberstein (ZKM, Beyond Matter, research
on "Iconoclash")
Andreas Broeckmann (Leuphana University, research on "Les Immatériaux")
