What We Made

Autor Tom Finkelpearl
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 ian 2013

Această monografie de referință, publicată de Duke University Press, explorează teritoriul fertil unde arta contemporană întâlnește activismul social. Găsim în What We Made o analiză profundă a modului în care experiențele estetice co-autorate și participative redefinesc rolul artistului în societate. Tom Finkelpearl nu se limitează la o descriere teoretică, ci propune un cadru de înțelegere bazat pe cooperarea socială, integrând 91 de ilustrații care oferă o dimensiune vizuală esențială proiectelor discutate. Ne-a atras atenția structura dialogică a cărții, organizată în jurul a cincisprezece conversații revelatoare. Autorul angajează în dezbatere nu doar artiști, ci și istorici de artă precum Grant Kester sau Claire Bishop, abordând provocările scrierii critice despre un mediu atât de fluid. Colecționarii și cercetătorii care au apreciat Art : Process : Change de Loraine Leeson vor găsi aici aceeași rigoare în examinarea practicilor situate social, însă What We Made extinde perspectiva către politici sociale, urbanism și spiritualitate. Progresia capitolelor ne poartă de la spațiul public și relația cu muzeele, până la studii de caz concrete, cum este celebrul Project Row Houses din Houston. Textul explorează granița fină dintre educație și artă, oferind voce și „participanților experți” — acei colaboratori adesea ignorați ai procesului creativ. Prin utilizarea pragmatismului ca instrument critic, Tom Finkelpearl reușește să ofere criterii de evaluare pentru o formă de artă a cărei principală valoare rezidă în întâlnirea umană și dialog.

Recenzii

"What We Made is a dialogic thick description of cooperative art practices from the point of view of practitioners and many insightful interlocutors. It will be an extremely valuable resource for artists, art historians, and museum professionals."—Rebecca Zorach, author of The Passionate Triangle

"In between histories, current art practices, and theories lies the conundrum: how to describe relational and public art and the many intentions of those involved. Tom Finkelpearl gives us perspectives from artists' on-the-ground experiences and a welcome revisiting of Dewey, contextualized by a sweeping introduction that alone is worth the price of the book."—Suzanne Lacy, author of Leaving Art: Writings on Performance, Politics, and Publics, 1974-2007

"This work attempts to unpack contemporary artistic practices along new aesthetic criteria: sociopolitical, transnational, spiritual, and, in particular with regard to the Internet, given its notions of networked collaboration and new definitions of authorship. These conversations by key practitioners and thinkers are a snapshot of thinking around the emergence of social and collaborative art, which seeks to improve society and address social issues... Finkelpearl ably situates collaborative and participatory art within the chronology of American art history. This book will be at home in university libraries and can function well as a course text in the field of public-art studies.".--Toro Castaño, Library Journal, February 25th 2013

Descriere

In What We Made, Tom Finkelpearl examines the activist, participatory, coauthored aesthetic experiences being created in contemporary art. He suggests social cooperation as a meaningful way to think about this work and provides a framework for understanding its emergence and acceptance. In a series of fifteen conversations, artists comment on their experiences working cooperatively, joined at times by colleagues from related fields, including social policy, architecture, art history, urban planning, and new media. Issues discussed include the experiences of working in public and of working with museums and libraries, opportunities for social change, the lines between education and art, spirituality, collaborative opportunities made available by new media, and the elusive criteria for evaluating cooperative art. Finkelpearl engages the art historians Grant Kester and Claire Bishop in conversation on the challenges of writing critically about this work and the aesthetic status of the dialogical encounter. He also interviews the often overlooked co-creators of cooperative art, "expert participants" who have worked with artists. In his conclusion, Finkelpearl argues that pragmatism offers a useful critical platform for understanding the experiential nature of social cooperation, and he brings pragmatism to bear in a discussion of Houston's Project Row Houses.Interviewees.
