On the Style Site: Art, Sociality, and Media Culture

3.3/5 ( ratings)

Since the 1960's, artistic practice has been increasingly focused on interventions in social reality and life-environment: the way in which everyday life is formed, designed or stylized. Faced with artistic activities that challenge traditional ideas of art and its relationship to aesthetics, critical paradigms and language must be recalibrated to correspond to these shifts. In this groundbreaking essay, Ina Blom, art historian at the University of Oslo, uses the work of the artists Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Philippe Parreno, Olafur Eliasson, Tobias Rehberger, Carsten Höller, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Liam Gillick and Jorge Pardo, to reassess the relationship between art and style. Consequently, "Style site" should be seen as an extension of what is generally known as site-specific art. "Style site" also works to radically challenge the notion of the political in art and may be best used as a device to reinterpret the life-art practices of the avant-garde.
