Scene and visuality : about the place of the art exhibition in recent days

Abstract

This article continues research that began more than two decades ago, which resulted in the idea of art as a place and exhibition as a medium. His approach responds both to the process of social spectacle and/or to cultural policies that promote an acceleration between seeing and exhibiting, stimulating expographic mise-en-scène; as and, above all, to artistic experiments related to spatio-temporal poetics that, by investing in the concrete space of life, take the exhibition medium as a sceno-visual structure. While traditional expository concepts and practices are based on the spatiotemporal pair in perception/reading flow; procedural and/or improvisational poetics are structured in the pair in perception/sensation flow, suggesting instability to the exhibition space. If the poetics of space broke with conventional expographic models, the performances made them nomadic structures. We perceive a potent sceno-visual structure, in the corpographic field: given its moving transversality, as architectural as political, implied in convivial relations not only intrinsic to the issues of art that stimulate us to reflect.
