Schwitters sammelte Materialien, wo immer er sich gerade aufhielt. Unbeachtete Dinge hob er auf und fügte sie in einem Bild, einer Skulptur oder einem Text zusammen. Jedes Fundstück konnte und sollte in seinen Kunstwerken neue Beziehungen eingehen. Die Ausstellung "Merzgebiete" stellt das Werk des Hannoveraner Künstlers in den Kontext der europäischen Moderne und verfolgt seinen Wirkungsradius. Schwitters stand mit den Vertretern der internationalen Avantgarde verschiedener künstlerischer Strömungen in regem Austausch, "Merzgebiete" zeichnet diese Karte enger Verbindungen zwischen Hannover, Basel, Zürich, Rom, Prag, Berlin, Rotterdam und Paris nach. "Merzgebiete" stellt die wechselseitigen Einflüsse und Kooperationen im Werk Schwitters in einen Zusammenhang mit den Werken seiner Freunde, darunter Hans Arp, Theo van Doesburg, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, El Lissitzky und Piet Mondrian.

Die literarische Produktion des Avantgarde-Künstlers Kurt Schwitters wurde in der Forschung bisher maßgeblich unter der Prämisse der Subversion von Ordnung betrachtet. Die Autorin zeigt hingegen, ausgehend von einer breit angelegten semiotischen Untersuchung der Kunst von Schwitters, wie die Transgression bestehender Ordnungskategorien wie Autorschaft, Gattung und Kunstform bei Schwitters mit der Etablierung alternativer Muster jenseits disziplinärer Grenzen einhergeht. Die Studie beschreibt, wie literarische und bildkünstlerische Werke gleichermaßen durch die herausgearbeiteten Ordnungsmuster strukturiert sind. Ebenso erweisen sich auf diese Weise Hybridgegenstände an der Grenze von Kunst und Alltagsgebrauch eindeutig (auch) dem künstlerischen Werk zugehörig. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht eine transdisziplinäre und hochaktuelle Neuperspektivierung von Schwitters’ gesamter Kunst: Seine Texte erscheinen als Elemente eines kunstformenübergreifenden Spielraums, in dem der Einfluss medialer Formate und diskursiver Strukturen auf die Wahrnehmung von ‚Realität‘ für den Rezipienten/die Rezipientin zum zentralen, immer wieder neu erfahrbaren Gegenstand wird.

Exploring the significance of metaphor in modern art “Where do the roots of art lie?” asked Der Sturm founder Herwarth Walden. “In the people? Behind the mountains? Behind the planets. He who has eyes to hear, feels.” Walden’s Der Sturm—the journal, gallery, performance venue, press, theater, bookstore, and art school in Berlin (1910–1932)—has never before been the subject of a book-length study in English. Four Metaphors of Modernism positions Der Sturm at the center of the avant-garde and as an integral part of Euro-American modern art, theory, and practice. Jenny Anger traces Walden’s aesthetic and intellectual roots to Franz Liszt and Friedrich Nietzsche—forebears who led him to embrace a literal and figurative mixing of the arts. She then places Der Sturm in conversation with New York’s Société Anonyme (1920–1950), an American avant-garde group modeled on Der Sturm and founded by Katherine Sophie Dreier, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. Working against the tendency to examine artworks and artist groups in isolation, Anger underscores the significance of both organizations to the development and circulation of international modernism. Focusing on the recurring metaphors of piano, glass, water, and home, Four Metaphors of Modernism interweaves a historical analysis of these two prominent organizations with an aesthetic analysis of the metaphors that shaped their practices, reconceiving modernism itself. Presented here is a modernism that is embodied, gendered, multisensory, and deeply committed to metaphor and a restoration of abstraction’s connection with the real.

The role of popular music is widely recognized in giving voice to radical political views, the plight of the oppressed, and the desire for social change. Avant-garde music, by contrast, is often thought to prioritize the pursuit of new technical or conceptual territory over issues of human and social concern. Yet throughout the activist 1960s, many avant-garde musicians were convinced that aesthetic experiment and social progressiveness made natural bedfellows. Intensely involved in the era's social and political upheavals, they often sought to reflect this engagement in their music. Yet how could avant-garde musicians make a meaningful contribution to social change if their music remained the preserve of a tiny, initiated clique? In answer, Sound Commitments, examines the encounter of avant-garde music and "the Sixties" across a range of genres, aesthetic positions and geographical locations. Through music for the concert hall, tape and electronic music, jazz and improvisation, participatory "events," performance art, and experimental popular music, the essays in this volume explore developments in the United States, France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the Soviet Union, Japan and parts of the "Third World," delving into the deep richness of avant-garde musicians' response to the decade's defining cultural shifts. Featuring new archival research and/or interviews with significant figures of the period in each chapter, Sound Commitments will appeal to researchers and advanced students in the fields of post-war music, cultures of the 1960s, and the avant-garde, as well as to an informed general readership.

German artist Kurt Schwitters (1887–1948) is best known for his pioneering work in fusing collage and abstraction, the two most transformative innovations of twentieth-century art. Considered the father of installation art, Schwitters was also a theorist, a Dadaist, and a writer whose influence extends from Robert Rauschenberg and Eva Hesse to Thomas Hirschhorn. But while his early experiments in collage and installation from the interwar period have garnered much critical acclaim, his later work has generally been ignored. In the first book to fill this gap, Megan R. Luke tells the fascinating, even moving story of the work produced by the aging, isolated artist under the Nazi regime and during his years in exile. Combining new biographical material with archival research, Luke surveys Schwitters’s experiments in shaping space and the development of his Merzbau, describing his haphazard studios in Scandinavia and the United Kingdom and the smaller, quieter pieces he created there. She makes a case for the enormous relevance of Schwitters’s aesthetic concerns to contemporary artists, arguing that his later work provides a guide to new narratives about modernism in the visual arts. These pieces, she shows, were born of artistic exchange and shaped by his rootless life after exile, and they offer a new way of thinking about the history of art that privileges itinerancy over identity and the critical power of humorous inversion over unambiguous communication. Packed with images, Kurt Schwitters completes the narrative of an artist who remains a considerable force today.

This book brings together papers presented at an international conference held in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 2013, and organised by the Shota Rustaveli Institute of Georgian Literature and the Georgian Comparative Literature Association (GCLA). It represents the first in-depth analysis of the different angles of the problem of emigration and emigrant writing, so painful for the cultural history of Soviet countries, as well as many other European countries with different political regimes. It brings together scholars from Post-Soviet countries, as well as various other countries, to discuss a range of issues surrounding emigration and emigrant writing, highlighting the historical and cultural experience of each particular country. The book deals with such significant problems as the fate of writers revolting against different political regimes, conceptual, stylistic and generic issues, the matter of the emigrant author and the language of his fiction, and the place of emigrant writers’ fiction within their national literatures and the world literary process.

This volume fills an important gap in research on the refugees from Nazism who settled in Britain, by giving a full and wide-ranging account of the organizations that they established. The contributions cover these organizations chronologically, from those that did not outlast the war to those still active today, and in terms of their function, as cultural or religious institutions, as historical resources for the study of Nazism and the refugees, or as all-purpose representative refugee associations. Any scholar or student working in this field needs to have an understanding of the organizations that were and are so characteristic of the refugee community.

Decentring the Avant-Garde presents a collection of articles dealing with the topography of the avant-garde. The focus is on different responses to avant-garde aesthetics in regions traditionally depicted as cultural, geographical and linguistic peripheries. Avant-garde activities in the periphery have to date mostly been described in terms of a passive reception of new artistic trends and currents originating in cultural centres such as Paris or Berlin. Contesting this traditional view, Decentring the Avant-Garde highlights the importance of analysing the avant-garde in the periphery in terms of an active appropriation of avant-garde aesthetics within different cultural, ideological and historical settings. A broad collection of case studies discusses the activities of movements and artists in various regions in Europe and beyond. The result is a new topographical model of the international avant-garde and its cultural practices.

Die Entstehung der Avantgarden zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts ist eng mit der Entwicklung der Metropolen Europas und Nordamerikas verknüpft. Paris, Berlin, München, Wien, Zürich, London, Moskau, St. Petersburg und New York - um nur diejenigen zu nennen, die man am ehesten mit avantgardistischen Bewegungen in Verbindung bringt - werden zu wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und kulturellen Zentren, in denen avantgardistische Gruppierungen sich formieren und agieren. Der zweisprachige Band macht sich zum Ziel, die avantgardistischen Metropolen in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts aus verschiedenen Perspektiven und in unterschiedlichen kulturellen Kontexten in den Blick zu nehmen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass in der Kulturgeschichte der Avantgarden nicht nur die reale Metropole eine eminente Rolle spielt, sondern auch, ja vor allem die mit Idealen und Ideologien aufgeladene imaginierte Metropole, die symbolisch sowohl für Aufbruch wie für Untergang einzustehen hat. La genèse des avant-gardes du début du XXe siècle est liée de façon inextricable au développement des métropoles d'Europe et de l'Amérique du Nord. En effet, les grandes villes telles que Paris, Berlin, Munich, Vienne, Zurich, Londres, Moscou, Saint-Pétersbourg ou New York - pour ne mentionner que celles que l'on associe le plus fréquemment aux avant-gardes - sont autant de centres économiques, sociaux et culturels où les avant-gardes se forment et agissent. Ce volume bilingue se propose d'étudier les métropoles des avant-gardes dans les premières décennies du XXe siècle sous des angles divers et par rapport à des contextes culturels particuliers à chaque pays. On constate alors que ce n'est pas seulement la métropole réelle qui joue un rôle éminent dans l'histoire culturelle des avant-gardes, mais aussi et peut-être surtout la métropole imaginée, chargée d'idéaux et d'idéologies, qui représente symboliquement un nouveau départ vers le meilleur et le pire.
