Synopsis

Gavin Butt et Irit Rogoff abordent la question du " sérieux " dans l'art et la culture, contre le contexte d'un monde de l'art contemporain qui semble avoir évacué la possibilité même d'une activité intellectuelle " sérieuse ", d'un discours critique de plus en plus instrumentalisé par les institutions artistiques et les marchés néolibéraux, et où les artistes subissent la pression des exigences de popularité et de financement.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The contemporary art world has become more inhospitable to ''serious'' intellectual activity in recent years. Critical discourse has been increasingly instrumentalized in the service of neoliberal art markets and institutions, and artists are pressurized by the demands of popularity and funding bodies. Set against this context, Gavin Butt and Irit Rogoff raise the question of ''seriousness'' in art and culture. What is seriousness exactly, and where does it reside? Is it a desirable value in contemporary culture? Or is it bound up with elite class and institutional cultures? Butt and Rogoff reflect on such questions through historical and theoretical lenses, and explore whether or not it might be possible to pursue knowledge and value in contemporary culture without recourse to high-brow gravitas. Can certain art forms--such as performance art--suggest ways in which we might be intelligent without being serious? And can one be serious in the art world without returning to established assumptions about the high-mindedness of the public intellectual? --------------- Other titles in the series include: Visual Cultures as Objects and Affects; Visual Cultures as Recollection --------------- Copublished with Goldsmiths, University of London -------------- Design by Marit Muenzberg
