Tagung beleuchtete Interaktionen zwischen postsowjetischen und europäischen Initiativen

Kunstbiennalen fungieren als Plattformen für Neues und Experimentelles. Sie bieten Staaten, Regionen und Städten einen Rahmen, ihre nationale wie lokale kulturelle Identität im internationalen Kontext zu präsentieren. Auch ihre ökonomische Relevanz nimmt zu. Seit den 1990er-Jahren steigt ihre Zahl stark an.

Unter dem Titel „Glocal Affairs: Kunstbiennalen im Kontext“ widmete sich am 27. April 2015 ein Symposium dem Thema in einem breiten internationalen Spektrum. Auf dem Programm standen Vorträge namhafter ExpertInnen über die documenta in Kassel, die EU-Biennale MANIFESTA, Global Studies des ZKM Karlsruhe, die Moscow Art Biennial sowie Biennale-Teilnahmen aus dem Kaukasus und Mittelasien unter anderem im Rahmen von der Biennale in Venedig.

Organisiert wurde das Symposium von der Historikerin Priv.-Doz. Dr. Waltraud M. Bayer in Kooperation mit Univ.-Prof. Dr. Sabine Flach, Leiterin des Instituts für Kunstgeschichte. Den Anlass bot ein vom Österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds FWF gefördertes Projekt, in dem Waltraud Bayer mit ihrem Team zur Entwicklung moderner Kunstmuseen im postsowjetischen Raum forscht, mit dem Fokus auf der russischen Föderation. Neben der Betrachtung der gesamten Region befassen sich die WissenschafterInnen anhand von Fallstudien mit lokalen Entwicklungen in ausgewählten Städten. „Dabei haben Kunstbiennalen als Motor eine dynamische Entwicklung in Gang gesetzt“, erklärt Waltraud Bayer.

Cosmetics in the environment: University of Graz proves danger to ants

Titanium dioxide, which is found in cosmetics, for example, is increasingly entering the environment in the form of nanoparticles. This could also put insects at risk. If ants ingest the substance in combination with the pesticide glyphosate, it disturbs the development of their offspring. Scientists at the University of Graz are drawing attention to the negative consequences of this toxic cocktail.
