Charlotte Laubard – htww http://www.htww.space Sat, 11 Mar 2017 15:05:44 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.4 I would like to start with the consideration that neoliberalism as a political rationality which has heavily impacted on the figure of the artist and on the institutional context where art is operating has become kind of exhausted. It seems like it has become a space without potential and without promise, which however persists as the dominant framework. We are more conscious both of its mechanisms of identification (the artist as entrepreneur) and its structural commitment to creating large inequalities among artists and cultural producers in order to produce value hierarchies. I would like to know how the forum feels about this statement. What has happened to artistic and cultural labor which is kind of irreversible? How are artists dealing with this condition? – Answer #2 – by Charlotte Laubard http://www.htww.space/i-would-like-to-start-with-the-consideration-that-neoliberalism-as-a-political-rationality-which-has-heavily-impacted-on-the-figure-of-the-artist-and-on-the-institutional-context-where-art-is-operat-2/ http://www.htww.space/i-would-like-to-start-with-the-consideration-that-neoliberalism-as-a-political-rationality-which-has-heavily-impacted-on-the-figure-of-the-artist-and-on-the-institutional-context-where-art-is-operat-2/#comments Fri, 03 Feb 2017 16:15:39 +0000 http://www.htww.space/445-2/ Take the new book that was just published by Luc Boltanski and Arnaud Esquerre, “Enrichissement. Une critique de la marchandise” (no English translation available yet). They address the phenonenom of the “economy of enrichment” (my translation), meaning how storytelling has become the main attribute of goods in order to be sold.

I can’t stop asking myself if art hasn’t shown the path as storytelling has been one of the main attribute of art practices. It is quite often an object/film/performance that tell a story (and often we need to read it on a piece of paper nearby or on a label on the wall). Are we going in the right direction?

In the context of an exhibition – because HTWW wants to operate in different contexts and the exhibition is one of them – how this pratice of transmedia storytelling could be addressed? And is there any role to play from the transmedia public? Is the exhibition an outmoded way of presentation/representation?

Sorry, too many questions…
