Les biennales internationales d’art contemporain et leurs touristes-amateurs, vus sous l’angle de l’utopie

Art feeds on and inspires the world so that it cannot be appreciated neither on its own nor out of its context.

description Art feeds on and inspires the world so that it cannot be appreciated neither on its own nor out of its context. As for contemporary art by its protean character and its multiplicity, it is the spitting image of a planet that has become polarized where the notion of frontier is constantly changing. At the same time, contemporary art is capable of inventing original forms which, following the example of the xviiith century utopias, have the purpose of building new spaces, new territories, from the point of view of an ideal where ethics and aesthetics entertwine. Hence it is advisable to highlight its possible capacity to “artialise” the world. The biennial or triennal events, fruits of the cultural industry and consequently prone to the effects of globalisation, have made those pieces of art particularly visible, by shaping territories, ar-t-chipelagoes, attractive enough to draw, henceforth, flows of tourists in their direction. That migr-art-ist finding in those places, protected areas, could experiment there a potential way of living poetically in a world seen as hostile.
