Marina Vishmidt

The recent research project and series of exhibitions After Neurath revisits the work of Otto Neurath, renaissance man of the Vienna Circle who had attempted to relate the puzzle of social change by pictorialising knowledge. Marina Vishmidt assesses Neurath's attempt to bridge the world between art and non-art in the terms of current debate and draws a materialist line under any positivistic expectations of the exhibition as research [1]

Recomposing the University -
By Tiziana Terranova & Marc Bousquet
July 2004
