Summary:
In this work of aesthetic theory, James Voorhies argues that we live in the shadow of old ways of thinking about art that emphasize the immediate visual experience of an autonomous art object. But theory must change as artistic and curatorial production has changed. It should encompass the full range of activities through which we encounter art and exhibitions, in which(...)

Summary:
In this work of aesthetic theory, James Voorhies argues that we live in the shadow of old ways of thinking about art that emphasize the immediate visual experience of an autonomous art object. But theory must change as artistic and curatorial production has changed. It should encompass the full range of activities through which we encounter art and exhibitions, in which reading and thinking are central to the aesthetic experience. Voorhies advances the theoretical framework of a “postsensual aesthetics,” which does not mean we are beyond a sensual engagement with objects, but rather embraces the cognitive connections with ideas that unite art and knowledge production. Cognitive engagements with art often begin with publications conceived as integral to exhibitions, conveying the knowledge and research artists and curators produce, and continuing in time and space beyond traditional curatorial frames. The idea, and not just visual immediacy, is now art's defining moment.

Summary:
Le discours sur l'art traite généralement d'œuvres, d'artistes ou de création mais délaisse un aspect essentiel de la relation esthétique : l'exposition. De fait, la question est complexe : comment aborder conjointement des éléments aussi hétérogènes que les relations entre objets, les relations de ces objets à des lieux ou à des publics ou encore les relations internes au monde de l'art qu'ils sous-tendent ? Une partie de la difficulté tient aux compréhensions contradictoires impliquées par l'exposition ; car exposer c'est à la fois produire une énonciation (un exposé) et découvrir, mettre à nu, mettre en danger. A la fois révéler - en un sens quasi photographique - et dévoiler : dénoncer et donner en exemple - rabaisser et élever. Bien que la question de l'art et de son appréciation ne se réduise évidemment pas à un ensemble de dispositifs de présentation, à des textes d'accompagnement ou de critique, à des choix de commissaires, il n'en demeure pas moins que la prise en compte des procédures d'exposition éclaire singulièrement la place de l'art dans notre monde. Des explications sur les circonstances entourant la création d'une œuvre - de même que la façon dont ces circonstances sont connues et divulguées - enrichissent sa connaissance et en modifient le sens et l'approche. De même, une réflexion sur les publics, la scénographie, l'architecture, les commentaires, les textes de présentation, permet de voir en quoi les différentes médiations orientent et réorientent en permanence le jugement sur les œuvres et notre compréhension de l'art.
