The relief, which has gained new importance as an artistic challenge, as well as problems like coping with balancing issues with three-dimensional objects, the depiction of time or the unexpected appearance of the ready- made will also be part of this seminars subject area. Transience and eternity will also be discussed as elements of symbolism and aesthetics, same as the „death of painting“and contemporary questions on crossing the frontiers of art genres
