Modes of Absence: The Aesthetics of “Non-Making” in Site-Specific Creations

Summary/Abstract: The artistic expressions of our present age, and the thinking behind them, are increasingly characterized by a departure from the traditional notions of aesthetics. The conventional distinction, which asserts that only creations closely linked to the act of making or some principle of construction, i.e., the usual conditions of the traditional artistic process, can be deemed aesthetically valid, has been challenged. The central focus of this paper revolves around the aesthetic thought and problematic, illuminating the “states of deficiency” that emerge as a specific problematic focus within site- or environment-specific performances. The phenomenological underpinning of these works does not reside in the act of creation, but rather in acts of detachment, highlighting, or “framing”. Consequently, my thesis centers on the fundamental problem of the aesthetics of the reduced mode of existence found in site-specific works.
