Beschreibung
The objective mind: thinking art beyond taste,
opinion, and
choice.

The Objective Mind presents a sequence of precise aphoristic propositions on art, truth, law, and perception. With formal rigor and radical clarity, Nikolaus Gerszewski develops a conception of art that resists psychologization, relativism, and opinion. Art appears not as expression, commentary, or social function, but as an autonomous order governed by its own laws. The objective mind does not judge, explain, or mediate-it sees. The book understands art as a practice of attention, form, and non-decision. It opposes taste, consensus, and the demand that art be useful, relevant, or communicative. The Objective Mind is an uncompromising
reflection on art as a mode of thinking in its own
right.

Über den Autor
Nikolaus Gerszewski ist bildender Künstler und autodidaktischer Komponist und lebt in Hamburg und Budapest. Nach Arbeiten in abstrakt-geometrischer Malerei wandte er sich 2008 dem Klang zu. Mit "Ordinary Music" prägte er einen eigenen Gattungsbegriff für Musik, die nicht nach dem Außergewöhnlichen strebt,
sondern ihre Erfüllung darin findet, überhaupt Musik zu sein. Seit 2014 unterrichtet er experimentelle Musik in Theorie und Praxis an der Universität Pécs und der Universität der Bildenden
Künste Budapest.

Nikolaus Gerszewski is a visual artist and self-taught composer living in Hamburg and Budapest. After working in abstract-geometric painting, he turned to sound in 2008. With "Ordinary Music," he introduced his own genre term, denoting music that does not strive for the extraordinary but seeks its fulfillment in being music at all. Since 2014 he has taught
experimental music in theory and
practice at Pécs University
and the Budapest University of
Fine Arts.
