- W2921454768 abstract "Theterm ‘public’ is a buzzword in art institutional lexicon, variously used toindicate art made by and for the public, or efforts made by galleries, museumsand other organisations to reach a wider number of individuals, as in the terms‘public art’ or ‘public programming’. Further, the amount of theoretical discussion on art’s publicdimensions has intensified since the 1990s, being integral to Nicolas Bourriaud’s ‘relational aesthetics’, Grant Kester’s ‘dialogical art’ and ClaireBishop's ‘participatory art’. However, much of this discourse has neithersubstantively, nor with sufficient nuance, considered the political andartistic ramifications of contemporary art’s focus on its public, per se. Inthis thesis I argue that this is a significant oversight, given that thebroader context of neo-liberal capitalism has threatened, if not decimated,many aspects of public life. The Impossible Public: The Politics of People in ContemporaryArt examines participatory and collaborative projects and artworks from themid-1990s onwards that engage overtly with the idea of the public. The artistsand artistic groups, from North America, the United Kingdom and Australia, areA Centre for Everything (Gabrielle de Vietri and Will Foster), Komar andMelamid, Harrell Fletcher (with collaborators Jens Hoffmann, Jon Rubin andMiranda July), Jeremy Deller, Stuart Ringholt and Natalie Bookchin. Through aclose examination of their artworks, this thesis observes specific artisticapproaches toward, and a distinctive set of interests in, the notion of thepublic, as distinct from other art-related terms including ‘audience’ and‘community’. For example, these works tend to consider the public in its mostopen sense, as an incalculably large and diverse number of people. I argue thatthese artworks invest in the continuing viability of a particular idea of thepublic—the public as a form of potential—which I develop in this thesis. Myapproach considers the post-Enlightenment and bourgeois origins of the idea ofthe public and draws on recent political philosophy and art theory to rethinkthe concept of ‘the public’ for contemporary art." @default.
