Transit Monumental – The way of Independence. Aesthetics in the identity projects of late modernity
Journal Title: Art Inquiry. Recherches sur les arts - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The paper presents the performative project by the K.A.U. collective and Małgorzata Wdowik, Transit Monumental – The Way of Independence, as an example of the late modern use of artistic fiction in order to examine existing social relationships and to expand the subject competences of the potential participants/recipients of the project. The author aims to build a philosophical context around this work and establish its connections with the tradition of the modernist avant-garde. In order to accomplish this task, he uses the conceptual tools provided by such thinkers as Anthony Giddens, Nicolas Bourriaud, Jacques Rancière and Paul Ricoeur.
