Tom Holert is an art historian and cultural theorist, also occasionally working as an artist and curator. He lives in Berlin and is honorary professor for art theory and cultural studies at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts where, until September 2011, he was professor of the epistemology and methodology of artistic production, a position he left to embark on independent research and text production. In earlier lives (1992-1999), Holert was editor of Texte zur Kunst and co-publisher of Spex in Cologne. In 1995, he completed a PhD on artistic knowledge in 18th-century France. With Mark Terkessidis, he has published books on pop culture, war, and migration. His current work focuses on a film essay with the working title “Labour of Shine,” a study on interfaces between artistic practice, knowledge production, and visual pedagogy in the 1960s and ‘70s, and a piece on the genealogy of artistic research as part of “Troubling Research. Performing Knowledge in the Arts,” a project that he co-initiated and that was funded in 2010-2011 by the WWTF.
