Katharina Neuburger – författare

The series Notizen zu Uecker (Notes on Uecker) makes the research results of the Günther Uecker Institute's fellows accessible to the public. The emphasis of the sponsored projects is on a lively examination of Günther Uecker's work. In volume 2, the art scholar Xiao Xiao devotes herself to spiritual concepts from the East Asian region. The focus of her analysis is on the intriguing proximity of philosophical notions of 'action' in the Chinese Daoist tradition and Uecker's artistic practice. Xiao Xiao shows how the notions of wuwei ['non-intervention'], ganying [correlative resonance], and ziran [from-self-so] make determinable movements of thought that are deeply inscribed in Uecker's artistic creative processes.

The special volume ZERO in the Notizen zu Uecker series collates lecture manuscripts from the workshop "Der Zustand des Erlebens", which took place in Düsseldorf in cooperation with the ZERO foundation in 2023. Invited participants addressed pressing questions regarding artistic action in recent debate. The contributions include approaches focussing on German post-war art, art historical discourses and political theory in the 1960s, elaborated in contemporary debate about artistic production, the field of action, and experiencing the work and the subject, as well as action art, performance, and performativity. The authors’ varied expertise offers fresh perspectives on a contemporary field of discourse.
