Modern (private) v. contempory (public)
Contemporary art should open a dialogue that never ends
Collective elaboration of meaning : being-together
Relational arts allow for the possibility of an immediate discussion, as opposed to post-script art forms like cinema, theater, written word, or privately consumed entertainment (tv, computer).
Interstice: trading communities that escaped the framework of the capitalist economy
‘zones of communication’ are forced on us – parallel to Jacobs.
Also in line with Jacobs, ‘the general mechanization of social functions is gradually reducing our relational space’.
An idea: ‘ambiguous space’
An exhibition is a privileged place where ‘instant communities like this can be established depending on the degree of audience participation demanded by the artist.’
Art is a state of encounter (commerce).
‘It is illusory to count on the gradual transformation of society on anything other than ‘microscopic’ levels’
-Feilix Guattari
Art of the 80s emphasized the visual aspect while the relationists emphasize contact and tactility.
Relational art is born of the observation of the present (itruth, authenticity, reasonable observation?)
Relational art gives ‘everyone a chance thanks to forms that do not give the producer any a priori superiority. The viewer becomes passive consumer, witness, assiociate, client, guest, co-producer, antagonist/protagonist.’
