Our present time is marked by crises and conflicts to a degree hitherto unknown.

All areas are affected: society, economics, politics, religion and lastly the freedom and self- determination of the individual.

Modern times are not good times (anymore).

Many questions arise and seem to be unresolved.

This faces us with a dilemma. We rely on innovation to make progress. But: The innovative is considered as ”the modern“ — but is not the same thing as ”the new”“.

As the innovative is not the same as the new that we need to make progress,

how does the new come into the world?

How does we analyse and evaluate whether we are making progress or

going backward?

Is our thinking and action still directed (at all) towards

Meaningfulness?

Are our value systems

still fit for purpose?

#JeSuisAndreas

I am therefore primarily interested in this question: Does present day man whose existence

is being eaten away by the new, whose life is always concerned with awakening, zeitgeist, progress, renewal

still have significance?

Or has the understanding of people and their culture as it was so decisive for the avant-gardists of the early 20th

century collapsed, in other words fallen in on itself?

What do ”modern people“

of the present time actually feel?

What guides them

in their work?

#JeSuisAndreas

We must take a position for ourselves to share specific

thoughts and ideas with us all.

It is not the common goal to simply decry individual facts unilaterally and in a pointless dispute but to produce the cultural and

communicative context to break down barriers and create common understanding.

We must establish points of

reference .

We must establish points of reference, that enable us to resolve the Dilemma of Present Time.

For this it is important to enable us to take stock guide by

meaningfulness in order to evaluate

whether striving for the new as we know it exists and is still valid. Or, if it no longer exists,

can be revived!

We must establish points of reference.

This can be done neither by politics, religion, ideology or economics.

But only through art in the purest form!
