ARCO Madrid 2010 – Expanded Box (catalogue text)
Back in 1997, Arthur C. Danto wrote After the End of Art, asserting that, after the Seventies, art entered a “post historical” condition, leaving behind the usual art historical narrative – based on a linear idea of progress – of which Modernism was the swansong; and opening a new era in which “everything can be art”.
ARCO Madrid 2010 – Expanded Box
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[Press Images (zip folder, 72 MB)]
Once again, ARCOmadrid is opening up its own particular “black box” to provide room for renowned international artists using new media in their works. The use of new technologies and digital tools in art creation is no longer viewed as anything strange or exceptional, and in fact a large number of artists have already added it to their everyday practise without further ado. This new addition of electronics to art is reflected in the eight spaces at EXPANDED BOX, in a programme coordinated by the Italian critic and curator Domenico Quaranta, a specialist in digital and net art.
