ABSTRACT

The essay addresses the question of how art has an impact on human practices. It aims to shed light on how art is relevant in historical-cultural contexts and on the ways in which art is part of these contexts as a whole. In order to reach this goal, the improvisational dimension of historical-cultural practices is illuminated. Relying on the conceptual framework provided by the analysis of improvisation, the “logic of interventions” is analyzed to better understand the ways artistic practices inform non-artistic ones. It is claimed that artistic interventions are inherently bound up with recipients’ practical reactions to them in such a way that they loop back on non-artistic practices. Against this background, the social dimension of artistic interventions is thematized. Therewith, artistic interventions are concretized with regard to social structures, and the everyday aspect of artistic interventions is highlighted.
