Synopsis

Germany is arming, participates in wars, prepares for wars. This also puts cultural policy to the test. While the war rearranges the relationship of state, society and art, the general inspector of the German armed forces demanded a "necessary change of mentality", a "turn of thought" to become "war-bearing". Stefan Ripplinger reflects the new ideological function of art. Whether Documenta or Berlinale, whether cancellations of professorships, prizes and exhibitions: Does only one art that is regulated, channeled, straightened count? And that itself contributes to regulation? The volume spans an arc from a newly adjusted cultural promotion at the time of the corona pandemic to the exclusion of Russian artists during the Ukraine war to a cultural containment policy in the face of the Gaza war. Under media fire protection, one even went against the word »Armistice«, and even Jewish artists were suspected of being anti-Semitic. Was art not once praised for practicing itself in disobedience, in rebelliousness, in contradiction, yes: to be inconsequent?
