To End the “End of Art” Topos
While a scrupulous attention to the multiple dimensions of contemporary artistic creation
remains indispensable, the predominantly optimistic vision which, a few years ago, sought to
counter the strident contempt of the censors of “contemporary art” no longer constitutes
the adequate response. Nor does it remain self-evident that the idea of an “iconoclastic”
and “autophagic” art still encloses a kernel which is recalcitrant to any institutional or commodifying recuperation, or that it is is anything other than the symptom of a residual and
stubborn idealism, devoid of any bearing on the current status, social, economic, economic
and political, of contemporary art. True, there is still room for personal strategies and there
are still some lingering possibilities for individual acts of micro-resistance to the dominant
artistic networks. These can develop on the margins of the general commodity logic and
its speculative excesses. However one has only to take a walk in the aisles of the numerous
international art fairs to grasp the extent to which such forms of resistance are, indeed,
marginal. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
