Organized by Walead Beshty, with Rachel Heidenry ’11 and Eloise Maxwell<\/p>\n

Introduction: Remarks by Walead Beshty,\u00a01:00-1:15pm<\/p>\n

Panel 1: Digitalization and the Aesthetics of Distribution,\u00a01:15-3:00pm
\nIt is\u00a0commonly observed\u00a0that a core tenet of Contemporary Art is its being\u00a0produced with an awareness of its dependence on systems of distribution, a condition that has increasingly\u00a0come to\u00a0dominate the approach of the most ambitious criticism of our time. How has the development of\u00a0a\u00a0vast digital infrastructure, which\u00a0facilitates contemporary aesthetic distribution,\u00a0produced pronounced effects on the form and materiality of the work of art\u00a0and its reception? How does this vast distributive system interact with and complicate the aesthetic conditions of industrialized production and distribution\u00a0that\u00a0it operates in tandem\u00a0with? How does\u00a0this awareness manifest itself\u00a0despite the fact that the majority of contemporary artistic practices continue to maintain traditional genres such as painting, sculpture, photography, film and video or performance, albeit under distinctly different conditions from their predecessors?<\/p>\n

Break:\u00a03:00-3:30pm<\/p>\n

Panel 2: Performativity and Methodology,\u00a03:30-4:45pm
\nAs the boundaries between the art object and its mode of circulation become increasingly difficult to maintain, whether it be through its dispersal\u00a0among\u00a0bodies\u00a0in socially contingent practices\u00a0or\u00a0through\u00a0means of distribution that are\u00a0habitually\u00a0seen as secondary to the work itself, what methodological tools are available to art history and art criticism to address the current status of the work of art? What methodological questions does it pose to theories of representation, or to the method of comparative formal analysis that underscores the field?\u00a0Which,\u00a0if any, of the classical art historical distinctions\u2014be\u00a0they between media, or aesthetic forms, or primary and secondary manifestations of the work of\u00a0art\u2014can be maintained?\u00a0In short, can art history and criticism address what things \u201cdo\u201d in addition to what they \u201csay\u201d?<\/p>\n
