Performing the archive : the transformation of the archive in contemporary art from repository of documents to art medium / Simone, Osthoff
Language: anglais.Country: États-Unis.Publication: Atropos Press, 2009Description: 1 volume (203 pages) : illustrations en noir et blanc ; 22 cmISBN: 9780982530900.Series: Think media : EGS media philosophy seriesAbstract: Instead of smoothing over contemporary art's violent and iconoclastic dimensions, instead of sanitizing and making complex artworks docile in terms of archival possibilities, this book suggests we abandon our fantasy of mastery over representation and respond in kind to the archive-as-artwork, to "living" archives, and to reenactments of history with their seamless connections between fiction and non-fiction. Among the concepts examined are Vilem Flusser's techno-imagination, Lygia Clark's and Helio Oiticica's participatory aesthetics, and Paulo Bruscky's and Eduardo Kac's literal performances of the archive. They contribute to the erosion of the archive's former boundaries, stability, function, and meaning. Writing alongside the artists as much as about them, Osthoff examines the archive mise-en-abyme, as it grows increasingly recombinant and generative..Bibliography: Bibliographie p.183-203.
