Kunstgeschichte-Studierende verlegen Tagung in Galerie

Es ist ein außergewöhnlicher Rollentausch an der Uni Graz: Studierende tragen vor, ProfessorInnen hören zu. Und anstelle der Universität dient eine Kunstgalerie als Hörsaal. Für eine Tagung zu Moderne und Gegenwartskunst am 30. Und 31. Oktober 2015 dreht das Institut für Kunstgeschichte den Spieß um.


Junge ForscherInnen in den Geisteswissenschaften fördern – das war der Ausgangspunkt für Kunsthistorikerin Univ.-Prof. Dr. Sabine Flach, das gängige Schema einer akademischen Veranstaltung zu überdenken. Für das Konzept der ersten NachwuchsforscherInnen-Tagung hat die Professorin für Moderne und Gegenwartskunst an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz einen neuen Weg beschritten. „Masterstudierende und DoktorandInnen tragen bei der englischsprachigen Konferenz vor, die Lehrenden wechseln die Seite und hören zu”, schildert Flach. Neben dem fachlichen Know-how erwerben die Studierenden auch weitere Kompetenzen, betont die Forscherin: „Sie erhalten damit die Chance, die Bühne der Wissenschaft zu betreten.“
Gleichzeitig geht die Universität mit der Veranstaltung auch nach außen, da die Konferenz Tagung nicht am Campus, sondern in der Grazer Galerie Zimmermann–Kratochwill stattfindet.


Unter dem Titel „You are in a place of indifference“ werden sich die vortragenden Studierenden mit dem Generalthema Raumkunst auseinandersetzen. „Raumkunst hat Konjunktur“, bestätigt Sabine Flach. „Wie kaum eine andere Kunstgattung haben die Installation und raumbezogene Performances in den vergangenen 50 Jahren das Feld der Künste und der Theorie dominiert.“


Artist’s Talk mit Jeanne Silverthorne
Breitentauglich erfolgt der Auftakt zur Tagung am 29. Oktober 2015 um 18.30 Uhr: Im Rahmen des „Artist’s Talk“ diskutiert Sabine Flach mit der amerikanischen Künstlerin Jeanne Silverthorne in der Galerie Zimmermann–Kratochwill, Opernring 7, 8010 Graz.

„You are in a place of indifference“. Space, Installation, Performance, Perception and Movement in Contemporary Art and Art Theory

WANN: 30. und 31. Oktober 2015
WO: Galerie Zimmermann–Kratochwill, Opernring 7, 8010 Graz

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
