Theoretical Priciples of De-aestheticized Art
"Art is a lie that makes us realize truth." – Pablo Picasso
What kind of lie is to support contemporary art today?
What kind of truth we realize through contemporary art?
contemporary scene visual art resembles the space filled with broken mirrors, where images reflect each other in the area multidimensional media circus. The technique of cataloging and classification, category creation, could be the key to the allocation and understanding of the complexity of the multitude of approaches and streams that exists in the current global art scene. Criteria for both the creation and selection are taken from random structures and, in theory, questioning the relevance of evolution of art.
The initial categories for the system as a whole are those of matter and consciousness. Provide the trunk from which all branches of different stem of the other categories. All the elements are so interconnected, each can only be understood as an element of the set. Dialectical Materialism (A. Spirkin)
Determination of the importance of the styles or trends, mainstream art, groups or any other structure, will become irrelevant in the near future. "Anything goes" was replaced by "So What?" With all the information and tools available today, everyone could become an artist. People from all professions are playing with new media. Do you have Garage Band to a musician or a software graphic design, or use digital camera of a photographer? New technologies create a competitive game as a result, everyone wants to win. Win in art, the experience also means "15 minutes of global fame and become a superhero." Is the consumer society with the replacement superficial happiness. Who will watch the game if everyone plays. Fortunately, we can not play at the same time. Hearing varies from small groups (family and friends) to large social groups. In large social communities, and national structures, the demand for "heroes" artists "decreases and the culture is broken into small pieces individualized performances regional character. To investigate the behavioral tendencies of art scene in the context of contemporary philosophy art tend to accept a concept that everyone is or can be an artist. The meaning, significance and consequences of the stream of mind is very deep and have a great impact cultural and social live. Why? It requires abandoning the notion of conceptual thinking.
My artistic approach builds on these foundations. Not that I would processes capable of performing non-dualist, but I'm trying to give a bit speculative futuristic predictions of the time after the end of art. Sooner or later, this trend will be labeled as an art unthinkable. Historically, the realization of the trajectory of these becomes a paradox to common sense (especially collective level), however, similar trends are reflected in the air of post-postmodern rain, and soon will appear in the sky like a rainbow.
curators today are looking for unique and interesting angles to make your point across when using sample selection techniques of art. The use of traditional approaches to ensure the art system cycle, from creation to distribution, and protects the cultural capital of the office. Even more obscure scenes (technologies vs Art forums or other so-called "new media") are not solving the problem of the foundation of the role of contemporary art in cultural platform in the world, because they rely on the traditional curatorial and preconceived selective mechanisms. What do I mean by that? I mean the study of the processes of appointment of the mind regarding the definition of what the label: The Art. As a reference to the dialectical philosophy is an example of demonstrating the potential of the idea given by A. Danto, about art into philosophy. These ideas must be taken not only by the artist themselves, but above all it was reformulated by officially supporting structures the broader cultural platforms.
What are the results of the conference held in Tehran in 2001? Art is even presented to the public in the presentation from the early 20th century. Static structures that support such views certainly do not raise public awareness and consciousness of problems in the world of modern art. Mark Kostabi The artist alludes to the idea, the art of being a servant of the market. Some conservatives are trilled by this statement. In the picture Westernization world, the phenomenon of M. Kostabi 's is becoming a guide – a hero, it's ideal combination of qualities that own contemporary artist. It is also the best proof of the lie that helps us understand the truth about today's art.
Like a neon sign flashes, art is reflected from the pieces of mirrors everywhere.
It seems that a new quality of the questions have been raised from Arthur Danto published his ideas in the book "After the end of art, 1998." More than a decade ago, Arthur Danto announced that art ended in the sixties. From this statement, has been at the forefront of a radical critique of the nature of art in our time. "Art is becoming a philosophy.
I have always believed in the search for answers in the space between, looking for the average. Neither postmodernism nor new media approaches are responses to the understanding of the position of art in the morning. postmodern world is a world of entertainment. It's like an amusement park, where the possibilities are endless and we feel overwhelmed for a while but we need a break from information overload and go home.
Kostabi is one of those, who understand the art market, and because of his intelligence penetrated the system, took advantage of it, so he can do whatever he wants. We pay for the expensive tickets out of our pocket. I admire him because he realized the dream of every artist. Or is it a dream of every artist to gain recognition and sell works of art from around the world?
If not, what is?
Is it still appropriate to ask a question such as, what is art? What about him? What is the nature of beauty? I would like to refer to dialogue between Einstein and Tagore, 1930.
EINSTEIN: No two different conceptions of the nature of the universe – the world as a dependent unit of humanity and the world as reality independent of the human factor.
TAGORE: If our universe is in harmony with man, the eternal, we know as the truth, we feel it as beauty. "
E: If there were no more human beings, the Apollo of Belvedere would no longer be beautiful?
T: No!
E: I agree with this conception of beauty, but not with respect to the truth.
T: Why not? The truth is through men.
E: I can not prove that my view is correct, but that is my religion.
T: Beauty is in the ideal of perfect harmony, which is in the universal self is the truth, the perfect understanding of the universal mind. We have people who approach through our own mistakes and blunders, through our accumulated experience, through our illumined consciousness. How if we can not know the truth?
– By Dmitri Marianoff, published in the New York Times, August 10, 1930
"Contemporary artists never be directed to new horizons. One reason for this failure, like the separation of artistic activity of speculative thought. "
2001 Museum of Contemporary Art Tehran International Conference on Philosophy of Art.
What happened since the time of the conference? How to overcome the speculative thought, if it occurs as a result of cultural values with the support of the society in which we live?
How to identify or place individual works of art in the world of the stage artistic and so complicated and diverse, without compromising the originality, respecting the developments in art? How to cope with rapid transmission and minutes to minutes changing trends in art? How does the individual artist contributes to the art of his time of life, and not only contributes to type 15 minutes of the story? What values, the reasons for art of tomorrow? Is there an analogy in the history of art to the situation of our era? What are the future forms of exploration visual? What will be the production of art will be in the near future, 10 years from now? What is the role of new media? Does artist must be involved in the philosophy of art? individual could create works of art are created in isolation? If so, how artistic processes structured individually and globally?
It is intriguing to think about becoming a pioneer of the new era of art. My motivation is to explore the field of possibilities. In have no interest in the issues inherent in the art and I'm not interested in the evolution of the possibilities of artistic thought. In 1999 have graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, with the installation inspired by I. Kabakov, where I discussed my work space with drawings and engravings on the floor and white fabrics, with the intention of questioning the meaning of art itself. white cloth was there to raise the question of the reason for continuing to make and so the narratives of art. I've seen circle closed possibilities. If anything was possible, and it was an art, was an art than anything else, so that the article was death. But I realize now that was only beginning of my long journey to the realization of the truth about art.
The Incredibles (2004) updates feelings about the end of art.
"When all the world is that nobody is a superhero superhero. "
In order to continue activities leading to the product label as an art, had to formulate and revise the following facts:
1. Analysis of the situation.
2. Error behind the motivations of self and evil.

2. UNDERLYING misconception of himself and MOTIVATION
I have played some traditional songs dilemmas of dualistic mind. The acceptance of dual aspect of things, leads to critical thinking, not only in art. Creating categories is the beginning of the tragedy of the era after the end of art. This is why by the beauty and any other category could be defined, leading to continuous labeling.
Definition of any other cause of error is based on the juxtaposition Nietzsche and Malraux art models and processes of creation.
Nietzche
a. Wanted for himself to an audience less artistic. The superstitious belief in the "genius"
b.One harangues the dark instincts of the unsatisfied, the spirits ambitious, self-disguised in a democratic age: the importance of poses.
c. A transfer of an art procedures to the other arts, it confuses the goals of art with the knowledge or the church or racial interests (nationalism) or philosophy.
d.One flatters women, victims, outrage, etc. False "escalation."
André Malraux
The Art is a display of universal creativity of the individual. Through art the man was, and is opposed and which transcends his physical limitations, their personal and social (historical) destination. Malraux refuted to explain works of art in connection with the biography of their creators, and was against this method to explain motives and content of art.
3. FORMULATION OF THE SOLUTION AND STRATEGY / VISION-UTOPIA
a. Reactivation of the iconic quality.
Because of the degeneration was of spiritual values and the end time of ancient gods, that migration and multicultural mix is responsible, I'm looking Possibility of New Form sacrum. This is not a creating transcendental art. It is a search of the art form that allows content to respect the dialectical evolution of social wisdom, which is very essence of a secret sacred respect. This is a new level of the area of new colors, shapes and structures. The renewal of art forms is based on the re-evaluation attributes of sacred history and to raise the forces of the modern era that define the motives and perspectives to redefine the sacred forms. It resurgence of existing symbols to worldwide. It is a creation of a new religion, but a new level of social consciousness. Form remains the same, the mind is different. Technology, art and philosophy are integrated into ongoing symbiosis.
b. Role of Artists, galleries and cultural industries. Combination of Two Worlds. New Wisdom Culture. Utopia.
This would be to "marketing game … governed by art dealers, gallery owners and publishers, who have to manage the business of the culture industry."
He global society is governed by New Culture Wisdom. Creating art is no longer regarded as the act of creation. "Art is going to be spontaneous as breathing." Artist is taking shape, that is immediately and naturally integrated into the environment, so that the subconscious is directed by the wisdom that eliminates the dilemma of hierarchical model. gallery space is most needed and all the space is becoming a showcase. All the space does not require the raises. It is an art of representation Image conscious plan, the experience of the retina, or the selection of the picture frame and place in the consciousness of aesthetics required on it. Artists are making art that is already blended into the natural environment as part of the space and serves as a perceptual potential for public performance. Cultural Wisdom is defined by human consciousness that provides unlimited potential for the definition of the pictorial structure of reality, and its limits are the limits of understanding the phenomenon of reality.
c. Clash of Civilizations. Global culture. Meta-code, and New Art Religion.
We have experience in training new world class cultural qualities that are based on cultural clashes. (Example: the overall cultural experience is at home in Los Angeles with my Mexican friends Persian and Japanese techno music listening, Bulgarian wine eating cheese with bread Arabic, Russian and French gherkins drinking while talking of Slovak culture, or the latest fashion trends in London.) East meets west or south is north processes are not complete yet, and it is difficult to predict the results of culture shock. But we must look to the presence and the formation of universal space, where cultural identities are redefined. This will result in temporary crisis of individual identities but eventually lead to the identity of the planetary consciousness.
Americanization of the world can serve as a model of globalization of the world with their positive and negative aspects. Migration to the caves is limited. SJLewy
4. MANUFACTURE AND CONTINUOUS VISUAL symbiosis
I want to scratch the surface beyond the point of A. Danto s issues philosophical about the end of art. Not that I would have "the guts" to develop their ideas from the philosophical perspective, but I just want to reflect on some fragments and link them strictly as an artistic vision.
"A philosophical question arises whenever we have two objects that appear in every reference because they are similar, but they belong to different philosophical categories important.
… And this is no less true when it comes to explaining differences between artworks and real things that only happen to exactly resemble them.
… For example, refers to paintings as objects of perception very complex. So they are, but since objects can imagine perfectly consistent with those that are not works of art, they should be equivalent to the complexity level of perception. After all, the problem is first, because there is no difference in perception could imagine finally relevant. But neither can hold the call "Aesthetic quality" to serve, as it would be strange that a work of art were beautiful, but something just as, if not a work of art were not. In fact, has been a significant effort in the philosophy of art to the de-aestheticize the concept of art. It was Marcel Duchamp, an artist much deeper than Warhol, who introduced himself as "readymades" objects chosen for their lack of aesthetic qualities – toilet combs, hat racks, and, curiously, plumbing parts toilet. "Aesthetic delectation is the danger to avoid, "Duchamp wrote his most controversial, Fountain, 1917. It was just a great effort from Duchamp to make clear that art is an intellectual activity firm conceptual and not merely something to which the senses and the feelings involved. And this must be true of all art, even more than determined to meet the eye or ear, and not only for works that are considered especially "philosophical" as the School of Athens by Raphael or Mann's The Magic Mountain. If someone to choreograph Plato's Republic, not simply due to its exalted, more philosophical than Coppelia or Petrouchka. In fact, these may be more philosophical, using real dancers as they dance imitating imitating real dolls dancers!
Where are the components for a theory of art that you? I think a first step can be performed on the recognition that works of art are representations, not necessarily resemble the old sense of his subjects, but in the broadest sense it is always legitimate to ask what it is.
Now of course not all things are works of art represented, so the definition has only just begun. I will not take the next steps here. Everything I wanted to show is how the philosophy of art has deep issues to consider issues of representation and reality, the structure, truth and meaning. In considering these things, moving from the periphery to the center of philosophy, and in doing so curiously incorporates the two things that give rise to it. For when art attains the level of self-consciousness has come to achieve in our time, distinction between art and philosophy becomes as problematic as the distinction between reality and art. And the extent to which the appreciation of art becomes a question of applying the philosophy, is undeniable. "- A. Danto
I believe that art should reach the level in its own representation would be the representation of pure existence. What I mean by the sheer existence? Ii is the purification in terms of building no. All creation is pregnant with their causes. In Therefore purify the causes of the creation purify the act of creation itself.
The global awareness of the level of cultural knowledge will create the platform representation where all things will become a work of art. Would be the conscience and its ability to frame the fragment of reality and apply the aesthetic quality it. The reality on the level of cultural knowledge is ultimately de-aestheticized. Marcel Duchamp's idea of aesthetic pleasure danger would be eliminated and completed his vision.
Every aspect of reality could become art, but the Wisdom Culture does not allow the reality in dualistic (trial) sense to become art or collective level, or at any regional level. It exists only as a potential light at the level of your consciousness. However, in later stages wisdom culture, in the final stage of equanimity, without judging the aesthetic experience of reality as artwork could be conducted simultaneously in more of a person. Evolution of collective experience could follow. The result of parallel experience, it reveals the evolution of the human species into the subtle spiritual the performance qualities and the quality inseparable from the beauty of our existence. It is the experience of the highest aesthetic. This will result in the formation of new social structure, where "shamans" protect the global sanctuary.
The essence of the Sanctuary is present in all aspects of reality, which keeps the door to the possible creation, where the seed of the nature of beauty to be found.
