Spacing Time Timing Space

Is music still the art of time? Are the visual arts still arts of space? This classic distinction seems to be crumbling under the weight of technological developments and the erosion of stereotypical dichotomies. Today, the contrast between space and time is no longer a standard, but is becoming a field of internal tension and a starting point for artistic creation – both within each art form individually and in the collaboration between them.

The new postgraduate programme “Philosophy and Sociology of Arts and Culture” explores this dynamic, in conversation with creators about the new delimitation of the relationship between space and time in artistic practice. Participating artists share how these two axes shape their personal inspiration and practice, while opening up the dialogue through a performance of electronic music, video installation and dance.
