Günther Ueckers künstlerische Handlungen - Eine interkulturelle Untersuchung anhand der daoistischen Begriffe wuwei, ganying und ziran

The series Notizen zu Uecker (Notes on Uecker) makes the research results of the Günther Uecker Institute's fellows accessible to the public. The emphasis of the sponsored projects is on a lively examination of Günther Uecker's work. In volume 2, the art scholar Xiao Xiao devotes herself to spiritual concepts from the East Asian region. The focus of her analysis is on the intriguing proximity of philosophical notions of 'action' in the Chinese Daoist tradition and Uecker's artistic practice. Xiao Xiao shows how the notions of wuwei ['non-intervention'], ganying [correlative resonance], and ziran [from-self-so] make determinable movements of thought that are deeply inscribed in Uecker's artistic creative processes.
