Kathrin Rottmann leads at the Institute of Art History at Ruhr University Bochum the DFG-funded project Industrial Production Methods in the Art of the Global North in the 20th and 21st Centuries. Studies in Art and Factories. The project conducts historical-critical research into how and under what socio-political and gender-political conditions production processes were transferred from the factory to art, what consequences these transfers had for the theory and practice of the visual arts and which gender codes of production and biological reproduction were effective in the process.

 

Christina Landbrecht is the director of the art program at the Schering Stiftung. Born in Munich, she moved to Berlin to study art history and business administration at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. She subsequently worked as curatorial assistant at the Berlinische Galerie – Museum of Modern Art, where she later took the position of assistant to the director, Dr. Thomas Köhler. When the excellence cluster “Bild Wissen Gestaltung” (Image Knowledge Gestaltung) was established at Humboldt-Universität, she returned there as a research associate and to write her dissertation. Entitled “The Problem and Potential of Artistic Research,” the PhD-thesis deals with the relationship between the natural sciences and the visual arts since the 1990s. She puts this knowledge to good use for the Foundation, bringing together the expertise of both artists and scientists in productive ways and inspiring interdisciplinary dialogues and projects.
