Since the early 1960s, artists have sealed off spaces in galleries and museums as a radical artistic gesture. These uncompromising works confront the viewer to a closed exhibition space, encouraging instead a physical, sensitive, or conceptual experience of each. These exhibitions are now re-explored at Fri Art. One after the other, they give structure to a retrospective that is written in time, as each work will successively close the exhibiton space, between August 6 and November 19, 2016. The retrospective's last day will be marked by the re-opening of the exhibition space. Festivities will include the launch of an important multidisciplinary, historical, and prospective anthology dedicated to radical artistic engagement: 'The Anti-Museum.' Exhibition: Fri Art - Centre d'art de Fribourg / Kunsthalle Freiburg, Switzerland (05.08-19.11.2016).
The Anti-museum book addresses the idea of anti-art in a broad sense, evoking attempts to disrupt rules and customs in diverse artistic disciplines. One must not forget that the notion of anti-art is set against the one that "everything is art"; they are conjoined. Both contradictory and provocative, they translate an artist's desire to challenge art with its own means. Mathieu Copeland and Balthazar Lovay, together with a stellar list of contributors, present the first extensive exploration of the radical and paradoxical concept that is "the anti-museum" -- a term so present in art history and yet that has never been the object of a detailed investigation and definition.-- Provided by publisher.
