Jackson Pollock Bar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“The Jackson Pollock Bar's business purpose is to install theories. Theories, especially aesthetic theories, no longer form a neutral, abstract background to art. Rather, they have become its material component. The aesthetic has become discursive and the discourse aesthetic. This is the implosion of art into discourse . Theories differ from works only on the first-order level of observation - through different qualities, logics and modes of experience. When the world becomes an exhibition, namely a self-exhibition of observations, then exhibiting can no longer be a privilege of art. "

Actors at the Jackson Pollock Bar are Martin Horn , Peter Cieslinski, Anna Wouters and Gotthard Lange . Since 1995 there have been regular collaborations with the British conceptual art group Art & Language .
