Summary

This book examines the Jewish Museum Berlin by Polith-American architect Daniel Libeskind, the painging cycle October 18, 1977 by German painter Gerhard Richter and three installations--Incident at the Museum, or Water Music; Healing with Paintings; and the Communal Kitchen--by Russian artist UIlya Kabakov withing the context of Reception Theory, associated with Hans RObert Jauss and WOlfgang Iser, and the aesthetic theories of Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Bertolt Brecht, Martin Heidegger, and Victor Shkovsky in order to illustrate the commonalities between the works of art in terms of thematic content, the use of interruptive techniques and their capacity to create the conditions for the possibility of a valid aesthetic experience in the late 20th - early 21st centuries.
