Christian Hartard, Works, Research, Texts, CV, studio@hartard.com | de |
Since graduating from the German School of Journalism, writing has always accompanied me: as a form of expression that precisely fixes theoretical thinking (and sometimes, if you’re lucky, starts thinking itself); as an instrument of reflection to sharpen my artistic practice and bring it to the point; as a possibility to formulate my own enthusiasm for art in a way that makes readers want to take a second look at the artwork. Over the years, I have written numerous academic articles, essayistic miscellanies, texts for artists and galleries, interviews, work documentations as well as public relations texts for curatorial projects. When necessary, I also write Punch and Judy plays for my daughters. And I’m currently working on a fantastic children’s novel about mice in Buckingham Palace – I’m excited to see where this journey will take me. Academic monographs → Kunstautonomien.
