Publisher Note

The pause in the context of art is subject of this book, states of rest, of sleep, but also attitudes of inaction and refusal, of dropping out, of strike and boycott. How do beholders and producers of art deal with the ambivalence of pauses, given the importance of dynamics, activity, participation, engagement, and work? The contributions from philosophy, art history and curatorial practice treat museums, pictures and biennials as places of pause, positions such as Malevich, Duchamp, Lee Lozano, Thomas Huber. They thus create a timeline from the 19th century to the present. The book contains the lectures of the symposium, which accompanied the exhibition PAUSE (prelude) 2018 at Haus der Kunst, extended by an essay and installation views of the exhibition.
