“ A shibboleth is any distinguishing practice that is indicative of one's social or regional origin. It usually refers to features of language, and particularly to a word whose pronunciation identifies its speaker as being a member or not a member of a particular group. ”— Shibboleth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

oe1.ORF.at - Radiokolleg - Kunst als Forschung
Künstler/innen mussten immer schon Forschung betreiben, um ihre Arbeiten verwirklichen zu können. Albrecht Dürer beschäftigte sich mit euklidischer Geometrie, verfasste ein Lehrbuch darüber und stellte in "Der Zeichner des liegenden Weibes" (1538) einen Künstler bei der Arbeit dar, der sich als visuelles Hilfsmittel eines Gitterrahmens bedient.Zur Programmatik erhoben wurde der forschende Ansatz in der Kunst jedoch erst durch die historischen Avantgarden - wie Konstruktivismus und Surrealismus - am Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg dauerte es einige Zeit, bis an diese Höhepunkte wieder angeknüpft werden konnte.

U B U W E B - Film & Video: John Berger - Ways of Seeing (1972)
Ways of Seeing was a BBC television series consisting of visual essays that raise questions about hidden ideologies in visual images. The series gave rise to a later book of the same name written by John Berger.It would be easy to say that Ways of Seeing is hopelessly dated -- made in 1972, the films come across as a puritan-groovy mix of Monty Python, the Open University and the Look Around You spoofs. And yet what's so remarkable about this series is that it seems more apposite, subversive and thought-provoking than ever. The Britain we glimpse in the films, already alienated by spooky BBC Radiophonic Workshop music by Delia Derbyshire, is alienated even more by the passing of time. Alienated usefully, in the Brechtian sense; we look at a capitalist society which is like, and unlike, our own.
One way our own society is unlike 1972 is in the fact that, despite the enormous plethora of TV and internet TV we have now, nobody has made anything quite like this. In art history, the treatment of women's bodies, in our relationship with objects and property and in advertising (the themes of the four films) the same mystifications and objectifications and manipulations carry on. What doesn't carry on is analysis of them on this level. [...]
