Abstract

Even a decade after his death, Clement Greenberg remains controversial. One of the most influential art writers of the twentieth century, Greenberg propelled Abstract Expressionist painting-in particular the monumental work of Jackson Pollock-to a leading position in an international postwar art world. On radio and in print, Greenberg was the voice of "the new American painting," and a central figure in the postwar cultural history of the United States. Caroline Jones's magisterial study widens Greenberg's fundamental tenet of "opticality"-the idea that modernist art is apprehended through "eyesight alone"-to a broader arena, examining how the critic's emphasis on the specular resonated with a society increasingly invested in positivist approaches to the world. Greenberg's modernist discourse, Jones argues, developed in relation to the rationalized procedures that gained wide currency in the United States at midcentury, in fields ranging from the sense-data protocols theorized by scientific philosophy to the development of cultural forms, such as hi-fi, that targeted specific senses, one by one. Greenberg's attempt to isolate and celebrate the visual was one manifestation of a large-scale segmentation-or bureaucratization-of the body's senses. Working through these historical developments, Jones brings Greenberg's theories into contemporary philosophical debates about agency and subjectivity. 'Eyesight Alone' offers artists, art historians, philosophers, and all those interested in the arts a critical history of this generative figure, bringing his work fully into dialogue with the ideas that shape contemporary critical discourse and shedding light not only on Clement Greenberg but also on the contested history of modernism itself.

Abstract

Well-known art historians from Europe and the Americas discuss the influence of conceptualism on different notions of critique - identity politics, biopolitics, and globalization. The legacies of conceptualism include the several different notions of critique it engendered. This collection of essays by art historians from Europe and the Americas considers the reception of conceptual art as seen in the sometimes contentious, sometimes contradictory, and sometimes affirmative modes of critique it inspired. The essays pursue three lines of investigation into the reception of conceptual art over the past three decades: forms of identity politics, including not only class, gender, race, and sexuality but also North/South and East/West dynamics; discourses that contextualize conceptual art practices in terms of Michel Foucault's and Giorgio Agamben's ideas of biopolitics; and issues of "global conceptualism," including artistic inclusion and exclusion and conceptualism's relation to globalization. Topics discussed include Central Eastern European postconceptualism; the notion of labor in the art practices of Bernadette Corporation, Mathias Poledna, and others; the mutual influence of the "Pictures" generation of postconceptualists in the United States and "Second Order" painters in Germany; feminism in the work of Judy Chicago, Mary Kelly, Martha Rosler, and others in the 1970s and 1980s; and queer politics within postconceptual practices, including the "kitsch factor" and anti-intellectualism sometimes found in works by such artists as Nayland Blake and Ray Johnson.

Abstract

Au cours des années 1970-1980, cinq auteurs principalement ont animé le débat sur l'héritage d'Adorno et sur la nécessité de réorienter l'esthétique : trois théoriciens de la littérature (H.R. Jauss, P.Bürger et K.H.Bohrer) et deux philosophes (R.Bubner et A.Wellmer). Impressionnés par la cohérence philosophique de la Théorie esthétique d'Adorno, ils n'y retrouvent pas, toutefois, leur propre expérience de l'art contemporain. Menant les uns avec les autres un débat serré, ils proposent des modèles d'interprétation radicalement opposés dans une commune défense de la modernité.

Abstract

Dit boek zoekt naar de conceptuele grondslag van hedendaagse kunst. Het gaat dieper in op de systematiek van hedendaagse kunst en kunstenaarschap, in het bijzonder op de relatie tussen conceptuele en visuele aspecten, de betekenis van het theoretische discours en de rol van tussenpersonen.
