Trier office for artists' social history

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Trier Arbeitsstelle für Künstlerozialgeschichte (TAK), English Social History of the Artist Research Center (SHARC), was founded in 2011 by Andreas Tacke and is an amalgamation of various research projects that give visual artists, master builders and architects of the pre-modern era more of a perspective his living conditions as viewed from his work: the habitus of the artist or the socio-historical environment of the painter, sculptor and architect have so far only been partially dealt with in art historical and historical research. While the question of the extent to which political and religious upheavals, economic crises, prosperity or historical turning points such as the Enlightenment influenced the subject of the picture has already been analyzed in many contributions, the Trier office for artists' social history, headed by Andreas Tacke, is devoting itself to a different topic: the focus is not primarily the work of art and its role assignment within society, but rather the individual artist with their scope for action and opportunities for auto-representation in the premodern era. A readjustment is made here, since - still guided by the genius discourse of the 19th century - the realities of life of medieval and early modern artists are often ignored. The dazzling image of the court artist is juxtaposed with that of the guild-bound craftsman, whose area of ​​agitation was restricted and determined by the regulations of the guild or craft regulations - from entering the apprenticeship to the journeyman's hike to the participation of the guild brothers at his funeral.

All projects shed light on the artists' social history of the Middle Ages and the early modern period from different perspectives, with some issues being pursued up to the present day. Wherever possible, TAK / SHARC organizes congresses and conferences, workshops or lectures.

In 2011 Peter Sloterdijk wrote about the project: "If one day the results from Tacke's workshop are available, we will know in detail what was going on in the aesthetic sector of the training camp Europe between the late Middle Ages and 1800."
