mdwPress is delighted to present The Social Organization of Arts – A Theoretical Compendium by Volker Kirchberg (Leuphana University) and Tasos Zembylas (mdw). In the compendium, Kirchberg and Zembylas critically discuss seven major theories of the social organization of arts in Western societies, with the aim of encouraging further research and theoretical developments.
We warmly invite you to the book presentation, inluding a discussion with the authors.
The mdw Art Research Centre invites you to the defence of the artistic dissertation ‘To Start from Scratch’ by Karl Salzmann on 22 October 2024 at 16:00 in the mdw Bankettsaal.

The members of the commission from mdw are Andrea Glauser, Professor of Cultural Studies, Katharina Klement, composer and lecturer at the Department of Composition Studies and Music Production, and Brandon LaBelle, an external member of the committee, artist and sound theorist.

In his performance lecture (and final presentation of his doctoral project), Karl Salzmann will guide the audience through his on-site sound installation. Using the turntable as a tool for artistic research, he will give an introduction and overview of his project To Start from Scratch, in which he explored themes such as the history, materiality and artistic practice of this apparatus. In addition to sculptures and videos that are part of his installation, the presentation will include sounding objects and artefacts that were part of his research process, all of which culminate in a reflective documentation that will be handed out to the critics on that day.
As the public closing event of the Artistic Research Lab in the artistic doctoral programme, sixteen mdw students will present audiovisual contributions from their current artistic research projects. The spectrum ranges from new and sometimes transcultural forms of composition and interpretation to experimental approaches to creation, curating, media art, film and theatre to historically informed performance practice and innovative turntablism.

Critical Improvisation Studies – Literature Review
The field of critical improvisation studies seeks to examine
improvisation’s effects, interrogate its discourses, interpret
narratives and histories related to it, discover implications of
those narratives and histories, and uncover its ideologies. In
this lecture, we will take a look at the development of this field
through its literary output–from edited volumes and handbooks,
through philosophical, cognitive, computer music and gender
studies perspectives, all the way to historical curiosities.
Ivar Roban Križić (*1990, Zagreb, Croatia) studied Double Bass at the Jazz Department in Graz and is currently pursuing an Artistic Research Doctorate at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, focusing on the epistemology of free improvisation. His artistic practice encompasses a wide variety of international projects, spanning contemporary jazz, experimental music, and free improvisation. His research is focused on musical cognition, AI, and technical and technological extensions of the double bass.

The Tao are one of Taiwan’s 16 recognised indigenous groups. They live on Orchid Island (蘭嶼), the Tao themselves call their island “ponso no tao”, which means “island of the people”. The most famous ceremony during the Tao harvest festival is the women’s hair dance. They gracefully swing their long hair to show their affection for their husbands and families. In the past, the dance was not allowed to be performed in daylight, so the dances often took place on the beach in the moonlight. Nowadays, however, the dance is part of the programme of during the day of the harvest festival. In this workshop, the invited Tao women will show us how to perform this dance.
The workshop will be held in German and English and is open to students of all study programmes.
