Symposium: The Event as a Privileged Medium in the Contemporary Art
World
Friday, 4 November, 11 p.m.?7 p.m.; Saturday, 5 November, 10 a.m.?2:30
p.m.
Location: Museum of Modern Art (Moderna galerija), Cankarjeva 15,
Ljubljana; admission is free
A varied cast of anthropologists, philosophers, historians, and art
historians have been announced: Luisa Accati, Beatrice von Bismarck,
Thomas Fillitz, Dario Gamboni, Werner Hanak-Lettner, Nathalie Heinich,
Bojana Kunst, Henrietta L. Moore, Robert Pfaller, Renata Salecl, Roger
Sansi-Roca.
The symposium will try to come to terms with the event-orientation of
the art field and art institutions; it will explore, as thoroughly as
possible, the meaning of this general change in the nature of the work
of art institutions, which only a few decades ago were calmly and
quietly exhibiting ?static? art production on walls and pedestals. The
art field seems to be, in this sense, an entirely unreflected structure,
although its event production has reached extraordinary dimensions
thanks to the large and ever-growing number of art institutions. In this
context, we should also emphasize explicitly the fact that in recent
decades art institutions have not only preserved and exhibited
contemporary art, but they have also been commissioning and producing it
(along with all the other events). Because art institutions have thus
become commissioners of contemporary art, similar in type and dimension
to what the aristocracy and the church once were, it seems all the more
necessary to consider in precise terms what such processes mean. We will
ask ourselves such questions as: What kinds of speech and iconography
are thus created, and why? What kinds of communities are thus formed,
and why? How are all these things included in the general operation of
society and how do they behave as a contemporary ideological apparatus?
