On Reconciliation / Über Versöhnung

Abstract

A series of reflections on the correspondence between Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger from 1925 and 1975, as a means to think about moral responsibility, ethical indebtedness, and the role of intellectuals in times of political urgency. These reflections were initiated by Dora García, who was joined by Simon Asencio, Rebecka Katz Thor, Nikola Mirković, Anna-Sophie Springer, Mark Thomas, Yuliya Tsutserova, Etienne Turpin, and Adriano Wilfert Jensen. Published by K. Verlag in collaboration with the Gallery for Contemporary Art – E-WERK Freiburg and the Academy of Fine Art Oslo/Oslo National Academy of the Arts. This publication is published following the exhibition Performing Grounds: Performance as Situation, Installation, and Sculptural Intervention, curated by Heidi Brunnschweiler at the Gallery for Contemporary Art, E-WERK, Freiburg, between 10 September and 2 October 2016; it is launched on the occasion of the exhibition Dora García: Second Time Around at the Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, on 28 June 2018.
