How can the silence in contemporary art be made visible and even audible? And what is the intention of art in its attempt? This volume aims to answer these questions. The topic of silence is treated as a medial reflection in a broad panorama of installations, performances, video, films, photos, and drawings in different artistic ways and thus made tangible. The interdisciplinary project includes works by around 50 international artists such as Marina Abramovic, Jane Benson, Joseph Beuys, John Cage, Hanne Darboven, Jonathan Monk, Nam June Paik, Timm Ulrichs, Jorinde Voigt, and others.
