Forschungsthemen

Vessels beyond Containment

Vessels beyond Containment is a long-term collaborative research project concerned with all kinds of vessels and containers, their materiality, shape and decoration, their functions and agency, their biographies and itineraries. The project is the next step in the research focus on concepts and theories, relations and constellations of image and object (Ding/Bild).

Forschungsbereiche

Storia dell'arte e catastrofi: L'italia sismica (sta-sis)

Un progetto transdisciplinare incentrato sul ruolo della storia dell’arte negli scenari post-catastrofe, con un’attenzione particolare al paesaggio e al patrimonio culturale italiani.

Ecology and Aesthetics. Environmental Approaches in Art History (e/ae)

Ecological and aesthetic theories are intertwined in multiple ways. The project opens a dialogue with archeology, anthropology and history of science concerned with the "anthropocene", rethinking the nature/culture divide in a transcultural perspective, including notions of heritage and sustainability, creation and consumption.

Sacred Landscapes:
Between Materiality, Transportability and Narration (Jerusalem Project)

Sacred Landscapes, in particular deserts and mountains are liminal spaces and also places of aesthetic production or response. Their dimensions are material, narrative and iconic, and they are connected to monumental sacred sites. The long-term Jerusalem project is concerned with all these aspects and analyses the ways in which they are intertwined.

'Rinascimento conteso' aims to construct a dialogue with challenges to the historiographical paradigm of a supposedly triumphant Renaissance, responding to sound criticisms of the term’s elitist connotations.

Languages of Art History

How did conventions of art historical writing come into being across various linguistic traditions, and how have they survived and developed out of inter-linguistic exchange?

Forschungsbereiche

Ethik und Architektur

Das Spektrum der Fragen nach dem Verhältnis von Ethik und Architektur ist breit. Es reicht von der Vitruv- und Aristotelesrezeption des Trecento über Überlegungen zur moralischen Dimension von Architektur im 18. Jahrhundert bis hin zur aktuellen Theorie und Praxis des Bauens.

Photography as Instrument and Medium of Art History

Historically grown photographic archives such as the Photothek are not merely repositories of visual information, but complex epistemic infrastructures that reflect the conceptual and methodological developments of the discipline of art history.

The Aesthetics of Marble

The project combines geo-aesthetics with an exploration of the metaphorical and transmaterial dimension of marble. The historical focus spans from Late Antiquity to the twenty-first century, looking at certain “marble moments”, mostly in the history of architecture, such as Roman and Byzantine wall decoration, early Omayyad art, Venetian medieval marble cladding, Roman baroque chapels, and the early twentieth century rethinking of wall decoration.

The Ligurian Complex. Case Studies in Ecology and Aesthetics

The project examines the complex overlaying and interpenetration of horizontal, vertical, or entangled spaces in Liguria, which are a challenge for an art historical investigation of both the production of landscape, terraforming, the interaction of human and non-human factors, and their aesthetics.

A Heritage Observatory of Socialist Worlds

This project focuses on the artistic, visual, and material culture of the former Soviet Union and Socialist worlds. Reflecting on the profoundly different realities of the States that were part of the Soviet sphere, as well as on the historiography and narratives, including ideological ones, that have affected issues of museography, restoration, protection and valorization, the project contributes to the understanding of architecture, art and heritage in the twentieth century.

Heritage, Art History, Tourism (H.A.T.)

H.A.T. was launched in 2019 as a platform for transdisciplinary conversations and research on the entanglement between heritage, art history, and tourism in a global horizon. The project is concerned with landscapes and territory, and with historical and contemporary dynamics of archaeology, architecture, site management and exploitation.

The Space of Childhood: The Adler Collection between Architecture, Art, History, Pedagogy and Creativity

This project studies a recent donation to the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan: the unpublished correspondence of the architects Hedwig Feldmann and Hans Edward Adler, dating back to their stay in the USSR from 1930 to 1933, as well as their collection of 257 Soviet children’s books, most of which were published between the 1920s and 1933.

Photo-Objects, Cultural Displays, Archival Performance, and Rhetorics of Value

Archival gestures emerge as choreographic practices that reveal the active role of archivists within a supposedly neutral archival space. These performative presentations of photographic objects foster new forms of storytelling and enable imaginative, socially engaged approaches to archival materials.

Objects of Migration, Photo-Objects of Art History: Encounters in an Archive

Objects of Migration, Photo-Objects of Art History: Encounters in an Archive is a joint project by the Photothek and the artist Massimo Ricciardo. It links questions of the archive with burning issues of global migration, rhetorics of value and cultural heritage.

Studies on the Photography, Laboratory, and Archival Practice of Anton Hautmann around 1860

Anton Hautmann, who was born in Munich in 1821, settled in Florence as a sculptor in 1849, where he was also active as a photographer from 1858 until his death in 1862. As one of the pioneers of stereoscopic photography, he is best known for his views of Florentine architecture and the cityscape.

The OSCOP project aims to critically recover the collection of photographs on the cultural heritage of the South Caucasus taken in the Soviet period by scholars working at the Centro Studi e Documentazione della Cultura Armena, founded in Milan by Adriano Alpago Novello in 1976.

Coded Objects

"Coded Objects" stellt als methodische Perspektive jegliche Annahme "neutraler" Technologie oder immaterieller Bürokratie in Frage. Stattdessen untersucht die Lise-Meitner-Gruppe, wie Prozesse durch Objekte Werte formen—und wie Objekte wiederum gesellschaftliche Prozesse formatieren.

Fragile Objects, Coded Knowledge (Architecture's Archives)

In architecture, the construction of disciplinary knowledge has been bound to the making of objects and their processes—be it plans, models, sketches or renderings—and their subsequent preservation: what the archive holds informs the histories that are written. In order to question its seemingly stable categories and include marginalized makers, the Lise Meitner Group’s project embraces fragile objects as a way to understand how disciplinary knowledge has been coded.

The Intelligence of Loss in the Archive

Archives are core sites of destruction, decay, and loss—whether through man-made causes or so-called natural disasters, much of humanity’s stored material has been, and continues to be, eradicated. But what if we treated forgetting not as a bug, but as a feature? While AI is hailed as a promise against loss, its own processes of erasure follow distinct patterns, revealing new ways of managing archival sustainability. This project approaches the intersection of archival disappearance and AI-driven erasure, reframing loss as a promise of other ways of knowing.

Hidden in Plain Sight

An Installation of Archive Objects. Oil Paintings, varying DIN formats. Files from the saai archive are stripped of their archival value: all information is removed, at least all textual one. Instead, what we see is their carrying material, namely, different paper formats. By translating archival files into a currency long dominated art historical discourse and production—the oil painting—questions of value become suddenly transposed, as well. Can we forego the primate of the values given and reconceive what we are looking for—which may be hidden in plain sight?

Nation of Norms: Designing German Worldviews One Object at a Time

Objects shape how one touches and views one’s world. This book traces histories where regulated objecst and standardized processes became instruments toward materializing a new worldview, and follows actors who attempted to reshape a German nation on paper, time and time again.

The Matter of Metadata: Archival Constructs between Index Cards and AI

If you were to browse through the complete catalog of the saai, one would find works by over 200 offices and architects—yet only a few of them are women, or involve practices and spaces created for or by marginalized groups or diverse actors. If metadata are understood as objects, as are their processes, infrastructures and consequences, then techniques for their virtual indexing can be learned from the human-made information from collected objects. Only by critically examining the archive's material techniques and value systems can blind spots be revealed—and addressed in AI applications.

Impact Research in Architecture and Urbanism

The DFG network “Impact Research in Architecture and Urbanism” meets regularly to develop and test methodological approaches, in addressing unclear concepts of impact at work in the built environment. In collaboration with the Lise Meitner Group “Coded Objects”, it develops experimental methods for studying the objects that shape our environments and brings together scattered knowledge across disciplines.
