The Site of Art – the Art of Site

Abstracts

The article attempts to present the role and accompanying genealogy of the category of site in art - proceeding from a phenomenological understanding of the site, through the materialist investigations of institutional critique and towards a discursive model extending beyond familiar art contexts. Since the reconfiguration of the site precipitates the reconfiguration of the place the artist occupies, it is attempted to designate an intricate situation of the artist, who departs from a modernist paradigm and assumes the role of a cultural-artistic service provider rather then a producer of artistic objects. This issue implicates the problem concerning the status of originality, authenticity, and authorship in site-specific art. Under these new circumstances art has become one of the many cultural practices that binds individuals into the social tissue, where the link between the work and its site has ceased to reflect the physical durability of the relations and consists in acknowledging its transience and impermanence. Accordingly, various cultural debates, theoretical concepts, social issues, political dilemmas, events of significance for a given community have assumed the role of new sites of art.
