The To-Bingen Conspiracy NORDISK MUSEOLOGI 1994•1, S. 31-46 THE TO-BINGEN CONSPIRACY Beat Wjtss In March of1913, a fragmentary manuscript, a folio written on both sides in the handwriting of Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel, was auctioned offin Berlin. Four years later, after a publication by Franz Rosenzweig, it became known as the «Oldest System-Program ofGerman Idealism.1>1 One hears the murmuring ofa genius in this little text, which has been attributed to Schelling, Holder/in, or Hegel three friends who studied together in TU.bingen. This <<fetish» ofresearch on idealism2 continues to feed the scholarly debate over the fragments authorship and the obscurities ofits origin and content. 3 Some new ideas about the purpose ofthe early public art museums may emerge from the study ofthe document. It is possible to discern a connecting line ofthought, a com­ mon concept ofpurpose, between Holderlin's idea of 'eternal return' and Mies van der Rohe's Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, as well as between Hegel's historicism, Schinkel's Altes Museum and James Sterling's Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart.

    Elsa van Wezel Das akademische Museum Hirts gescheiterte Museumsplanungen 1797/98, 1820 und 1825 Warum scheiterten die Museumskonzepte von Aloys Hirt gegenüber den Plänen von Karl Friedrich Schinkel und Gustav Friedrich Waagen? Hirt zählte zu den wichtigsten Mitgliedern der Berliner Museumskommission und war überdies ein renommierter Sachverständiger auf dem Gebiet der Künste. Und er war es, der die Errichtung eines Museums in Berlin überhaupt erst initiiert hatte. Doch während der Entstehung des ersten in Preußens Hauptstadt gebauten Museums wie auch bei dessen Einrichtung sollte es heftige Auseinandersetzungen geben, die dazu führten, daß Hirt zuerst beim Bau (ab April 1823) und später auch bei der Einrichtung (ab April 1829) ins Abseits gedrängt wurde. Man könnte im Nachhinein denken, daß Hirt von seinen Widersachern übertönt und von späteren (Kunst-)Historikern unterschätzt wurde. Diese Sicht der Dinge ist jedoch irreführend. Es geht weniger um eine angemessene Wertschätzung von Hirts Person, als darum, verständlich zu machen, wie um 1800 eine veränderte Kunstanschauung zum Durchbruch kam, die Hirt fremd blieb. Im September 1797 engagierte sich Hirt, seit Oktober 1796 »Professor aller theoretischen Theile der schönen Künste«1 an der Königlichen Akademie der Künste in Berlin,2 erstmalig für die Gründung eines Museums in Berlin und machte sein Anliegen umgehend deutlich. In seiner Konzeption handelte es sich bei dem Museum um eine Einrichtung, die mit »unserm Kunstinstitute [der Akademie] in genauester Verbindung steht«.3 Was den direkten Zusam- menhang herstellte, war der Zweck beider Institute, nämlich »die Bildung des Geschmackes«.4 Auf der Akademie würden den Schülern die Lehre und im Museum die Vorbilder des »ächten Geschmackes« vorgeführt werden.

  • Art History at the Art School: Revisiting the Institutional Origins of the Discipline Based on the Case of Nineteenth-Century Greece
    Art history at the art school: Revisiting the institutional origins of the discipline based on the case of nineteenth-century Greece Eleonora Vratskidou Scholarly courses at the art school: a blind spot of research The elaboration of a theoretical discourse on art has been a main concern of art academies since their creation in the sixteenth century. This concern was nurtured by the need to regulate artistic production through the establishment of specific norms and values, and, at the same time, it was intricately linked to the promotion of the artist’s status and the legitimization of the artistic profession. The articulation of theoretical discourse in the academies took place mainly in the framework of conferences among peers – by and for an elite of peers – where multiple alternating voices could engage in fruitful debate. However, towards the end of the eighteenth and during the early nineteenth century the plurivocal structure of the conferences was, in many cases, gradually replaced by actual courses offered by a unique professor. Along with practical training, courses of history, archaeology, art history, art theory and aesthetics were systematically incorporated into the academic curricula in the context of larger pedagogical and institutional reforms. This is the period in which Ancient Régime artistic structures were reformed, while new art schools were created, and the academic system of art education expanded in the recently founded nation-states of Europe and the Americas. A series of questions arise from this development. Whereas courses in art theory and aesthetics could be seen as a further pursuing of old concerns, courses in art history were less expected.

  • 1 Storage in Early Modern Art Museums: the Value of Objects
    CODART TWINTIG Warsaw, 21-23 May 2017 – Lecture 22 May Storage in Early Modern Art Museums: The Value of Objects Behind the Scenes Dr. Robert Skwirblies, Researcher at the Technical University, Berlin Full text As Martina Griesser stated in 2012, the history of museum storage has still to be written.1 She presumes that this history began in the late 19th century – when appropriate storage rooms were designed and built for the first time. That stands to be proven: actually, the first modern museums, founded in the decades around 1800, did have some structures that can be called storage rooms. In the following minutes, I would like to show you how this question arose in the first place, and how curators reacted to it. Some written sources and plans show us traces of the early storage design. Traces, I say, because we do not know exactly what the first storage rooms looked like. I have not found any details concerning storage rooms in museums in Paris or London. I have found some hints for museums in Italian cities and in Berlin, but no precise plans or technical details. What we can say is: The question of storing works of art in order to protect them from damage, destruction, or deprivation arose often and all over. At the same time, the storage of objects behind the display space was avoided or at least only temporary. In the early history of museums, storage rooms seem to have not been planned as such. Indeed, storing works of art was contrary to the very reason museums were founded: bringing hidden collections and treasures to light, making them visible to a public (which itself was in the state of being formed as the modern society, the citizens) and exhibiting them for the purposes of education, enjoyment, and the objects’ own good.

  • Die ›Ästhetische Kirche‹ : Zur Entstehung Des Museums Am
    ANNETTE GILBERT 45 Die ›ästhetische Kirche‹. Zur Entstehung des Museums am Schnittpunkt von Kunstautonomie und -religion [W]ährend selbst das religiöse Gefühl, was wirklich noch vorhanden ist, mehr oder min- der in den Parteienkampf hinabgerissen wurde[,] […] ist für eine sehr große Anzahl von Menschen aus der gebildeten Klasse, die Kunst und das Schöne das letzte ihnen übrig gebliebene Kleinod des Göttlichen […]. Friedrich Schlegel Seinen Besuch der Dresdner Schlossgalerie im Jahre 1768 beschrieb Goethe in Dichtung und Wahrheit rückblickend als außergewöhn- liches Erlebnis, das die Kunstgalerie zum Heiligtum werden ließ: Die Stunde, wo die Galerie eröffnet werden sollte, mit Un- geduld erwartet, erschien. Ich trat in dieses Heiligtum und meine Verwunderung überstieg jeden Begriff, den ich mir ge- macht hatte. Dieser in sich selbst wiederkehrende Saal, in welchem Pracht und Reinlichkeit bei der größten Stille herrschten, […] die mehr von Schauenden betretenen als von Arbeitenden benutzten Räume gaben mir ein Gefühl der Feierlichkeit, einzig in seiner Art, das umso mehr der Emp- findung ähnelte, womit man ein Gotteshaus betritt, als der Schmuck so manchen Tempels, der Gegenstand so mancher Anbetung hier abermals, nur zu heiligen Kunstzwecken auf- gestellt, erschien.1 1 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: Dichtung und Wahrheit. In: Ders.: Werke. Ham- burger Ausgabe. Bd. 9. München 1981, S. 320. Die ›ästhetische Kirche‹ 46 Bis in die Gegenwart ist eine solch religiös gefärbte Sprache zur Be- schreibung ästhetischer Erfahrung in Kunsträumen weit verbreitet – die häufig wiederholte Rede vom Museum als Tempel, als »ästhe- tische Kirche«2 und als »Kathedrale«3 der Gegenwart zeugt davon. In vielen Fällen mag diese religiös überhöhte Rede von der Kunst und dem Kunsterlebnis lediglich der Unterstreichung oder Be- hauptung der besonderen Bedeutsamkeit der Kunst dienen – um 1800 aber hatte die Analogie zwischen Kunst und Religion, zwi- schen Kunstmuseum und Kirche besonderes Gewicht.

  • Beauty and Instability in Eighteenth
    Transformations of the Beautiful: Beauty and Instability in Eighteenth- and Early Nineteenth-Century German Literature Arthur K. Salvo Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Arthur K. Salvo All rights reserved ABSTRACT Transformations of the Beautiful: Beauty and Instability in Eighteenth- and Early Nineteenth-Century German Literature Arthur K. Salvo Transformations of the Beautiful reexamines a problem that emerges during the mid- eighteenth century: the devaluation of the aesthetic category of the beautiful. In opposition to accounts that identify this problem with the rediscovery of the sublime, this dissertation emphasizes the crucial yet underexamined role that historicization played in the destabilization of beauty’s normative status in German aesthetic discourse. Additionally, I demonstrate that literary discourse became a key mode through which the beautiful’s problematic status was negotiated. Assembling literary texts from 1759-1817 that thematize beautiful objects or phenomena in terms of their historicity or instability, and transform them, I argue that these moments constitute discrete instances in which literature responds to the precarious position of beauty in modernity. With recourse to texts by Winckelmann, Schiller, Jean Paul, Ernst August Friedrich Klingemann and Eichendorff, I focus on the specific literary techniques employed by different genres— description, elegy, and narrative fiction—and how they reconfigure the relationship between the modern subject and the beautiful. In so doing I demonstrate how literary texts intervene in aesthetic discourse to reevaluate and generate alternative conceptions of the beautiful. Table of Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1.

  • Gilly-Weinbrenner-Schinkel: Baukunst Auf Papier Zwischen Gotik Und
    ünf bedeutende Konvolute von Architekturzeichnungen und –reproduktionen aus den Beständen der Göttinger Universitätskunstsammlung und der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitäts- bibliothekF Göttingen werden in der Ausstellung „Gilly – Weinbrenner – Schinkel“ erstmals gemeinsam gezeigt. Eine besondere Entdeckung bieten dabei Friedrich Gillys Entwürfe für ein Theater in Stettin: Es sind die frühesten überhaupt bekannten, überdies brillant in Szene gesetzten Zeichnungen des früh verstorbenen Lehrers von Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Weitere Einblicke in die Architektenpraxis um 1800 vermittelt eine Mappe mit Zeichnungen für ein Theater in Königsberg, die vermutlich Carl Ferdinand Langhans nach Entwürfen Gillys angefertigt hat. Von der Mittelalter-Faszination die- ser Zeit zeugt Friedrich Fricks ebenfalls nach Vorlagen Gillys gedruckte Aquatinta-Serie „Schloss Marienburg in Preußen“. Für einen pragmatischen, aber nicht minder bemerkenswerten Umgang mit mittelalterlicher Bausubstanz stehen Friedrich Weinbrenners Entwürfe für den Umbau der Göttinger Paulinerkirche zur Universitätsbibliothek. Und schließlich belegen Karl Friedrich Schin- kels druckgraphisch reproduzierten Entwürfe für einen Königspalast auf der Akropolis in Athen, wie lange man im 19. Jahrhundert an einer schöpferischen Erneuerung des griechischen Altertums arbeitete. Die im Katalog erfassten Zeichnungen und Drucke laden dazu ein, Umbrüche und Leitmotive in der Architekturdarstellung um und nach 1800 nachzuvollziehen. Fünf einleitende Aufsätze eröffnen zusätzliche Forschungsperspektiven.
