RHEINBERGER HANS-JÖRG IN TOUCH ENCOUNTERS BETWE...

The entanglements between the realms of science and art have always been multiple—even more so
in our times  although often this is not easily to be seen at the surface. Over the last years
this interest has found its expression in a series of conversations and engagements of
Hans-Jörg Rheinberger with the oeuvre of various artists.       In Touch is the result of these
discussions. Taken together  they create an encompassing picture of the author’s approach.    
The reflections and deliberations on the oeuvre of seven different artists convey an impression
of the ways in which Rheinberger addresses the work of artists  not as art historical exegeses
but rather as engagements with the oeuvre as an ongoing process. In the conversations conducted
with artists and curators on aspects of the actual debate about artistic research  what is at
stake is an understanding of the arts as research processes possessing their own character and
specificities. These conversations find their extension in a monological form  focusing on the
relations between scientific and artistic research—on what unites and what separates them. The
figure of the experiment and its multiple facets stand in the center of these explorations. A
number of vignettes turning around objects that have again and again aroused the interest of
scientists as well as artists concludes these investigations.       Since the close of the
millennium  there is an ongoing international debate among artists  in art universities as well
as among exhibition curators around the theme of artistic research. In Touch intends to
intervene in the debate and to enrich it with a personal contribution.
