Kunsttot.de

With the projekt kunsttot.de Johannes Auer is reflecting the constant restauration of artworks and arguing that they should be given the right to a natural death, as well as our society should stop focusing so much on youth.
Interestingly enough this is done in three parts: 1. with a "manifest for the natural death of the work of art", which is using explicit references to the french artist Marcel Duchamp and the futuristic manifesto written by the italian futurist F.T Marinetti. 2. with some animation that follows the idea of the manifesto, which is for example questioning the reasons for the restauration of the Frauen Kirche in Dresden. 3. with an interactiv part which is collecting signatures for the rights of the artworks to a natural death. A description of the work can be found here

Felix Martin Furtwängler

The german bookartist Felix Martin Furtwängler (b. 1954) is currently exhibiting book-objects at Sächsische Landesbibliotek - Staatsuniversität bibliothek Dresden (SLUB). This is interesting as far as book-objects is an expression of the same interest in the material as is the case with concrete poetry, the material here being the book instead of the letters. An intro to the exhibition can be found here
