lädt die Abteilung Hochbau 2 am Mittwoch, 31. Mai 2017, zum Vortrag von
MARTIN ARNOLD – ?Elsewhere?
Martin Arnold spricht über seine neueren Arbeiten mit Cartoons.
?Ausgangsmaterial für Martin Arnolds neuere Arbeiten sind aus der Populärkultur vertraute und in der kollektiven Erinnerung verankerte Bildfolgen aus amerikanischen Trickfilmen. Arnold bearbeitet sie, fragmentiert, dekonstruiert, zerlegt und repetiert. Aus familientauglicher Unterhaltung entstehen auf diese Weise Filme mit völlig neuen Bedeutungsebenen. Darin agieren fragmentierte Figuren, deren Charaktere nicht mehr als solche erkennbar sind, wie ferngesteuerte Marionetten.?
