Status of the reality - Symposium
This year our desire was to enlarge the project with a Symposium on "The Status of Reality in Contemporary Art." The question of place, significance and the function of reality in contemporary art in an era of technological simulation is of particular importance. The proposed issues are justified by the phenomena that appeared in the artistic field throughout recent decades. Photography and video have their evident relation with reality; collage, ready-made objects, found objects and works in-situ accept the precedent conditions; land-art needs topological appropriation; performance has to solve the problem of real time and space. And what about the examples of treating the artists body as a specific medium in contemporary artistic practice...? Do we use reality in defence of the menaced position of subjectivity of the artist, or rather to create inter-subjective common ground? Is this an attempt to save the object and real experience in comparison with the domination of the picture, or the need to eliminate the space-time distance introduced by remote transmission? Is this a provocation of the museum institution and its digestive capacity, or our disbelief in its mission? Is this a sign of the infertility of creative imagination or the recognition of the force of reality as the basis of verification? With these questions, however inexhaustive, we have invited experts of art history and art theory, to analyse through this perspective the "Status of the reality in art", the artistic phenomenon of the last decades. [J. Bury, 1998]
