Descripción del proyecto
Explicación sobre el carácter del compromiso en las instalaciones artísticas
En los últimos decenios, las instalaciones artísticas (IA) se han hecho muy populares por su planteamiento inmersivo y participativo. Las obras de IA suelen construirse «in situ», en un espacio concreto y con muchos medios diferentes. Sin embargo, la forma de definir las IA y el compromiso con este arte sigue siendo objeto de debate. El equipo del proyecto IEIA, que cuenta con el apoyo de las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, colmará esta brecha del conocimiento y formulará el primer relato filosófico completo relacionado con nuestro compromiso con las IA, exponiendo al mismo tiempo el papel específico de la imaginación y la dimensión ficticia dentro de ella. La investigación repercutirá en la teoría del arte y la estética, y guiará a los profesionales del arte. Los resultados del estudio se presentarán en revistas y conferencias de renombre.
Objetivo
Several works by Ernesto Neto present huge, warm-colored, pleasantly smelling Lycra tunnels. They are cases of installation art (IA): the public is supposed to enter the tunnels and interact with the physical environment, experiencing the works from within. Works of IA resemble buildings because they envelop the public, but they differ in that, as with paintings and sculptures, they do not have a sheltering function. This raises a philosophical question: what states of mind are distinctive of our engagement with IA?
The goal of this project is to develop the first full-fledged philosophical account of our engagement with IA, arguing that, typically, the imagination plays a crucial role in it, by pursuing 5 research and innovation objectives: (1) showing that IA prompts imaginings of a specific kind; (2) arguing that IA can be defined in terms of its imagining-arousing function; (3) arguing against the prevalent view that IA doesn't have a representational or fictional dimension; (4) investigating the link between the imaginings aroused by IA, on the one hand, and abstract painting, on the other hand; (5) integrating the proposal within a broader account of fiction.
The project’s goal is relevant to aestheticians and art theorists, because IA dominates contemporary art, and to art practitioners and public, because it can help improve the design, exhibition, and communication of IA.
I, Elisa Caldarola (Philosophy PhD), will carry out the proposed research through investigations in the philosophy of fiction and of art, in art theory, in depiction theory, and the philosophy of mind, working at The Graduate Center, City University of New York (Philosophy Program) under the supervision of Prof. Jonathan Gilmore, and at the Department of Philosophy and Education Sciences, University of Turin, under the supervision of Prof. Alberto Voltolini.
I shall publish 5 papers in top-level journals, present my work at 8 conferences and at outreach events.
