Publikation Future Sense(Christoph Merian Verlag, 2020) King, Dorothée; Klingler, Mario; Renner, Michael; van der Meulen, Nicolaj03 - SammelbandPublikation Lernen von Kunst und Design im Labor: Eine Datensammlung früherer Kunst- und Designausbildungen(Schweizerische Fachgesellschaft für Kunstpädagogik, 28.11.2019) King, DorothéeIn diesem Beitrag betrachte ich Veränderungen in der Kunst- und Design-Ausbildung unter dem Gesichtspunkt des Wandels von methodologischen und kulturellen Praktiken. Ich vergleiche historische Lernprozesse mit modernen Praktiken im Bereich Kunst und Gestaltung, um vielfältige Forschungs- und Lehrmethoden für das Learning Lab Arts and Design (LLAD) auszumachen. In den ersten westlichen Kunstakademien wurde Lernen als Nachahmung ästhetischer Vorgaben verstanden, während in den frühen Zünften das Erlernen gestalterischer Fähigkeiten immer in Zusammenhang mit Wissenstransfer und der Entwicklung neuer Produkte stand. In den späteren Kunst- und Designschulen bewegte sich die Ausbildung weg von vorgegebenen Mustern und Medien hin zu individueller Kreativität und Transformation und wurde zudem oft Ausdrucksform eines kreativen Protests. Das Erlernen von Kunst wurde zu einer Praxis, in der nicht das Ergebnis, sondern der Prozess im Mittelpunkt steht. Heute schlage ich vor, dass Gestaltung und künstlerisches Schaffen im LLAD als vielfältige Lernpraktiken im digitalen und virtuellen Raum vermittelt werden. Lernen soll mittels einer Vielfalt von Aktivitäten stattfinden. Dazu gehören: ausdrücken, austauschen, befreien, beobachten, dekonstruieren, denken, digitalisieren, drehen, emanzipieren, erfahren, erinnern, erziehen, experimentieren, fliessen, formen, forschen, fortführen, gestalten, imitieren, interagieren, intervenieren, kartographieren, kombinieren, konstruieren, kopieren, kreieren, kritisieren, leben, lernen, materialisieren, messen, öffnen, partizipieren, performen, politisieren, produzieren, protestieren, recyceln, reflektieren, reformieren, rekonstruieren, so tun als ob, spiegeln, spielen, standardisieren, theoretisieren, transformieren, überschreiten, verarbeiten, verbinden, vergessen, versuchen, werden, wiederholen, zeichnen.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Digital Anxiety Self-Help Group(25.09.2019) King, DorothéeWe live in a challenging digital world that is constantly in a state of up-dates. In higher arts education teachers and students are expected to fully embrace new forms of digitalization. Educators and students sense strong expectations to learn, practice and produce, teach and research in the constantly up-dating digital realms. In 2019 in my current home institution, the Arts and Design Education Department at Basel Academy for Arts and Design, some students indulge in the aesthetics of digital photography of a decade ago, others prefer to learn crafty skills, most refuse to use digital class room software. Educators tend to use and re-teach the digital tools they have learned during their studies. They use video, Wordpress and Dropbox as their state of the (digital) arts. Students and educators alike show an approach to media and digitalization that is affected rather by conservative nostalgia than by euphoria and optimism. In my experience in teaching and learning environments in the arts and design, only some educators and students jump enthusiastically into new digital environments, for most digital tools feel like a burden. Often the first argument of my colleagues is that in the good old days the digital tools and their aesthetics were better. Their second argument is that nobody needs those new digital tools anyways. But who dares to openly talk about their feelings? Or to put it even more clearly: How can we overcome digital anxiety? At the ELIA Academy 2019 in Stuttgart I want to install a digital anxiety self-help group in the form of a playful performative group therapy round table discussion. In a humorous way the self-help group will support each other to go through the following steps: 1) We will indulge in our most favorite (yet obsolete) digital setups to embrace our current (outdated) digital state with self-compassion. 2) Next step is to let go of the digital past in a healing ritual supported by the group. 3) Finally having permission to move on from the past - we will jump right into the eye of our biggest digital fears. In the company of like-minded colleagues, together we will experience that today’s digital environments are actually kind of fun, easier to handle than we think, and filled with creative artistic and pedagogic opportunities. 4) Lastly, we set up individual goals on how to keep in the loop with digitalization in the coming academic year.06 - PräsentationPublikation Geruch und Heimat(12.09.2019) King, DorothéeIn den letzten Jahren haben sich auf Geruch spezialisierte Künstler*Innen damit beschäftigt, ob über das Atmen Positionen zu Vorstellungen von Identität bezogen werden können. Die Analyse unterschiedlicher, olfaktorisch zu rezipierenden Werken soll zeigen, inwiefern über eingeatmete Aromen in der Kunst Kommentare zu Heimat und Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl entstehen können. Der Akt des Atmens und der eingeatmete Geruch ist mit komplexen sozialen, politischen und kulturellen Implikationen verbunden. Geruch schafft Nähe und Distanz, je nach Kenntnis und Bewertung des eingeatmeten Geruchs. Geruchserfahrungen in unterschiedlichen kulturellen Kontexten prägen Zugehörigkeitsempfinden und führen zur Zuordnung über Geruch. Jonathan Reinartz formulierte die These zu Geruch als Mittel zur Abgrenzung und Identifikation für kulturelle Kollektive. Mădălina Diaconu stellte fest, dass bekannte Düfte ein Gefühl der Vertrautheit und der Zugehörigkeit zu Orten und Gemeinschaften vermitteln können. Biologisch gesehen ist Geruch ist an unser limbisches System gekoppelt, das für emotionale Zugehörigkeit steht. Die Anwendung derartiger Thesen in der Analyse exemplarischer olfaktorischer Werke, soll die Signifikanz von Geruch für die Bildung von Sozialgefügen explizieren. Beispielhaft vorgestellte Kunstprojekte generieren über die olfaktorische Rezeption ein „wir“ und „die anderen“ und stellen zugleich eine lokale Identifikation über das Atmen in Frage. Carie Paterson entwickelt das Homesickness Kit, um über Gerüche Weltraumreisenden ein Gefühl von Heimat zu geben.

Heaven is not the promised land anymore. Smog in mega cities, pollution in industrialized areas, and holes in the ozone layer change the physical and culturally informed perception of the sky surrounding us. Defining that breathable space as smellscape (Claasen, 1994) turns the unidentified air into a matter of evidence (Jacques Derrida). With “the invention of atmosphere” (Willebrord Snellius, 1580-1626) came the desire to design and alter the ephemeral yet breathable space that surrounds us. In the past artists and designers imagined dystopias, such as Margaret Atwood’s climate-controlled domes (MaddAddam, 2013), or utopias, such as Yves Klein and Werner Ruhnau’s who attempted to shield a whole town (Immatrial City, 1957/1959). A new generation of contemporary designers and architects work on altering our smell-able atmosphere for real. My paper discuses projects by designers that are based on the idea of air as a matter of evidence for climate change and aim to offer alternative atmospheres and smellscapes. I am arguing for the term smellscape architects. Smellscape architects are designers who work not only as experience engineers (Alva Noe, 2014), engineers who alter situational experiences of individuals. This new generation of architects work on changing the collapsing atmosphere of a man-made Anthropocene sustainably. Examples include London-based designer Michael Pinsky. His Pollution Pod (since 2017) documents a smellscape status quo. He offers his audience pollution cocktail from cities around the world. German start up Green City Solutions works on moss walls in urban areas (2018). Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde designed a Smog Free Tower (since 2015) he proudly refers to as the largest air purifier in the world. Currently Daan Roosegaarde is working on pollution killing bikes (2017).06 - PräsentationPublikation Whose Skin? Curating Tattooed Tableaux Vivants in Contemporary Art(Intellect, 01.04.2019) King, DorothéeThis article discusses tattoo works by contemporary artists Wim Delvoye and Santiago Sierra to raise questions about curating tattooed tableaux vivants. Showing tattoos on living persons in an exhibition context instigates an intriguing curatorial network. The relationship extends from the curator and the artist to the person carrying the artwork. Yet one cannot assume that the three parties act in agreement. Their connection may be social, art-focused or even market-driven. In a newly formed triangle of artistic and curatorial interests, the division of labour and distribution of profits have to be renegotiated.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Learning Lab Arts and Design: Re-Processing the Future of Art and Design Education(Christoph Merian Verlag, 2019) King, Dorothée; Langkilde, KirstenIn this article I reflect on changes of learning in art and design as shifts in methods and cultural practices. I link an historical overview of learning processes to contemporary art and design making to identify methods of research and teaching for the Learning Lab Arts and Design (LLAD). Western art academies supported learning as imitating aesthetic standards. Learning design in guild systems combined knowledge transfer and the invention of new products for changing societies. Later, learning in art and design schools moved away from pre-set métiers and media. It came to refer to individual creativity and transformation, a way to protest or express an attitude. In the 80s, learning art becomes a practice with focus on process, not outcome. In 2019, I propose that LLAD approaches the processes of art and design making as multifaceted practices of learning within digital and virtual learning environments. Learning is to be situated in various activities: imagining, repeating, improvising, documenting, researching, prototyping, playing, simulating or transforming.04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Digital Graffiti(11/2018) King, DorothéeIs digital graffiti the new tool for the generation of digital natives to resist, protest, and engage? With examples we see that going digital allows a “displacement and assemblage of space,” 12 and leads to a re-organiz- ing of the aesthetics of architecture with all its symbols and power structures. Digital graffiti is a powerful tool for protest and intervention. And the practical advan- tages of digital graffiti over traditional graffiti are obvi- ous. One does not have to get close to the architecture onto which one intends to project. Even fenced-in build- ings can be turned into a projection screen. One may even choose the building in relation to the message of the graffiti. Also, digital graffiti does not cause damage to property and is therefore not a criminal act.01B - Beitrag in Magazin oder ZeitungPublikation Smell and Air in Contemporary Art(06/2018) King, DorothéeFor this paper, I take up a thesis recently formulated by Jonathan Reinartz concerning the historical qualities of smell as a divider and identifier of communities (Historical Perspectives on Smell, University of Illinois Press, Champaign, 2013). In applying this historical thesis to contemporary art, my approach shows the strategies of artists in commenting on smell-based signifiers for social relationships and local identification. I am researching art projects that track odors which mark the smell-based differences between “the healthy us” and “the dangerous other”– particularly in the context of growing inequality in a globalized culture marked by capitalism and climate change. As case studies, I will analyze Teresa Margolles: Vaporización (2002), Sissel Tolaas: The Fear of Smell – The Smell of Fear (2006), and Michael Pinsky: Pollution Pod (2017).06 - PräsentationPublikation Everybody’s House.
