EVENTS
Nicolas Bourriaud:The Radicant. A crticism of the postmodern thought.
28/03/2007 – 29/03/2007
Bourriaud is best known among English speakers for his publications Relational Aesthetics (2002) and Postproduction (2000). Relational Aesthetics in particular has come to be seen as a defining text for a wide variety of art produced by a generation who came to prominence in Europe in the early 1990s. The book attempts to identify and characterise what is distinctive in contemporary European art as compared to that of previous decades. It does so by approaching it in a way that ceases ‘to take shelter behind Sixties art history’ , and instead seeks to offer different criteria by which to analyse the often opaque and open-ended works of art of the 1990s. To address this work Bourriaud imports the language of the 1990s internet boom, using terminology such as ‘user-friendliness’, ‘interactivity’ and ‘do-it-yourself’. Indeed, Bourriaud describes Relational Aesthetics as a book addressing works that take as their point of departure the changing mental space opened by the internet .
