Samenvatting
This work is a collection of essays that re-evaluate key artistic concepts that influence the manner in which engaged practices are conducted. Historically produced ideas about, for example, spectatorship, autonomy, what an artwork is, and the political role of the artist determine to a large degree how contemporary practices constitute themselves. Might these concepts be faulty when acted out in practices that occupy fundamentally different premises – to put it bluntly – than producing a painting to be hanged on a wall? The answer is β€˜yes’, hence they need both analytic and rhetorical confrontation.
