Seven-branched Candelabra in Churches: Semantics – Contexts – Practices (A06+)

项目06致力于纪念七支烛台，作为基督教对犹太烛台的改编，为教堂制作并竖立在教堂中。该项目将把它们解释为“美学反思的形象”，系统地审视它们的物质性、形式和意义，并解决它们的空间和社会文化背景、它们的功能以及它们在表演实践中的作用。因此，它专注于真正的艺术史，但同时也关注跨文化和宗教间的问题。它的总体方法受到物质转向和实践理论的启发，并建立在sfb“行动美学”模型的基础上，将人工制品视为行动背景下的主体和客体。

Project 06 is dedicated to monumental seven-branched candelabra that were, as Christianadaptations of the Jewish menorah, made for and erected in churches. The project will interpretedthem as ‘figures of aesthetic reflection’ and systematically scrutinize their materiality,form and meaning, and also address their spatial and socio-cultural contexts, their functions,and their role in performative practices. Thus, it focusses on genuinely art-historical, but alsoon intercultural and interreligious issues. Its general approach is inspired by the Material turnand Practice theory, and builds on the SFB-model of ‘praxeological aesthetics’ in conceivingthe artefacts as both subject and object in the context of actions.
