    Double Trouble in Exhibiting the Contemporary: Art Fairs and Shows

    No full text
    The strange brotherhood between art fairs and biennials, and other recurrent or mega exhibitions, continues to arose criticism but little attention in academic literature, despite the importance of such exhibition formats in the life cycle of art, artists, and anyone entering the art world. The volume reconsiders the relationship between art fairs and biennials and other pivotal contemporary shows from various perspectives. It seeks to throw light on a situation of great complexity, where the production, circulation, and reception of artworks are part of an osmotic mechanism that allows permeability between what comprises an exhibition and what is being offered on the market: ‘entre chien et loup’. With contributions by Gwen Allen, Bruce Altshuler, Cristina Baldacci, Jörg Heiser, Jacob Lund, Jean Minguet, John Rajchman, Clarissa Ricci, Camilla Salvaneschi, Terry Smith, Angela Vettese

    Preface

    No full text
    In attempting to make sense of the socio-economic goals and the artistic-cultural means that are unquestionably part of art production and circulation – distant and irreconcilable though their positions seem to be – this preface introduces how the volume "Double Trouble in Exhibiting the Contemporary: Art Shows and Fairs" aims to open up a range of opportunities for further enquiries. Investigating the differences and similarities between exhibitions with and without commercial scope means not only examining the production and distribution of artworks but also questioning the concepts of legitimization and value-making, the production of art, the role of the artist, the function of the media, the definition of diverse exhibition formats, as well as the differing interaction with visitors and the future of art criticism. In such discourses, the remediation of value and attention brought about by the media and digital platforms seems to be even more crucial now that the pandemic threat has made such locations the only possible nodes of visibility in the entire art network

    Double trouble in exhibiting the contemporary : art fairs and shows

    No full text
    Il volume raccoglie saggi di studiosi internazionali sulla relazione tra fiere e mostre d'arte contemporanea, due entità che si sono negli ultimi 50 anni sempre più accostate divenendo secanti anche se non sovrapponibili. Da diversi punti di vista sono quindi esaminati gli elementi di similitudine. In evidenza particolare vengono la relazione arte-mercato, la funzione del direttore di mostra o fiera e dei curatori di sezione, la capacità di proposta da parte di gallerie più o meno dotate di capacità promozionale, un nuovo significato da attribuire al termine di committenza.

    Re-Edit, Re-Enact, Remediate: The Exhibition as Time-Based Artwork (Philippe Parreno)

    No full text
    As a postmodern and interactive "dramaturgy", which denies any prefixed visitor’s route in favour of many different ways of making an immersive experience according to the visitors’ choices and movements in space, Philippe Parreno’s exhibitions are like machines à penser and work of art in themselves. This article analyzes Parreno's making of exhibition as a time-based medium, where visitors experience an interaction of diverse, proliferating images and narratives that are only partially dependent on the artist’s will. Automatic reactions and changes are produced both by chance and by visitors, who spend time in the exhibition moving around and producing their personal editing which affects the overall visual imagery. The exhibition thus becomes a temporal loop where multifold times and anachronic temporalities coexist and overlap

    Food and eating in fiction since 1950 with particular reference to the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis.

    PhDEating is a fundamental activity. What people eat, how and with whom, what they feel about food, what they do or do not want to eat and why - even who they eat - are of crucial significance in any reading of human behaviour. In this thesis, I consider the diverse and complex uses of food and eating in fiction since 1950, especially that written by women. I argue both that food and eating carry much of the meaning of a novel or story and that the acts of cooking, feeding and eating depicted are inseparable from issues of power and control: individually, interpersonally, culturally, politically. My discussion centres on the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, sociology, anthropology, Foucault, Bakhtin and others, the thesis aims to construct an interdisciplinary perspective which both resists reductive interpretations and emphasises the centrality, complexity and diversity of food and eating in literature in our culture. I begin with an examination of the ambiguities of maternal feeding and nurturing, moving on to explore the links between appetite, eating and sexuality. I explore cannibalism and vampirism as manifestations of oppression, but also as indicating insatiable emptiness and transgressive appetite. The body itself is crucial, and my argument considers the paradox of not eating as control/enslavement, also tracing self-starvation as a positive route towards wholeness and connection. The last part of my argument focuses on social eating, examining conventions, rituals and food itself in connection with power relations, and finally considers how we might truly speak of food and eating in the context of society as a whole
