Art in a State of Siege: Berlin, Kurinskij, Nuremberg, 1942-1947
Joseph Leo Koerner presents his new book, Art in a State of Siege (Princeton University Press, 2025). Using Berlin as a point of orientation, he explores how in extreme cases of collective experience art becomes a currency of last resort.
What do artworks look like in extreme cases of collective experience? What signals do artists send when enemies are at the city walls and the rule of law breaks down, or when a tyrant suspends the law to attack from inside? Art in a State of Siege tells the story of three compelling images created in dangerous moments and the people who experienced them, whose panicked gaze turned artworks into omens.
An event by the American Academy in Berlin.
Register to attend. Livestream available.
The event will be held in English.
