Art and boundaries : on the genome and models of the expanded field of art

Muhovič, Jožef (author)

In his study the author analyses formal, semantic and structural trans-formations in the artistic space of modern art. He intentionally con-trasts the expression »artistic space« against the more widely used and customary expression »art system«. His objective is to direct atten-tion from the organizational-technical and institutional aspects of art towards the deep-structured matrix of conditions defining the need for art itself, and towards the general assumptions of artistic articulation, axiology and pragmatism. The discussion has the shape of a triptych. In the first, historical and panoramic part of the discussion, the author demonstrates the transformation of the so-called basic field of art into the so-called expanded field of art, which in the space of modern art is marked by phase shifts such Gesamtkunstwerk, avant-garde, objets trouvés, and Beuys' »erweiterter Kunstbegriff«. In the central part, the author deals with the concept of »artistic space« and the model of artis-tic space, and more intensively with the transformations of this model in conditions of crossing from the basic to the expanded field of art. In the third, conceptual part of the discussion, the author thematises the nature of the relationship between art and the borders of its paradigms, that is to say, their crossing and expansion, as well as formation, devel-opment and maturation.
