Functionalism, Proceduralism – Institutional and Hybrid Theories of Art

Summary/Abstract: Functional theories of art set out to define artworks in terms of certain functions that have to be fulfilled by an object in order for that object to be judged an artwork. Procedural theories suggest certain procedures by which the same object may be judged to be an artwork. The article examines the most famous procedural theory of art – the institutional theory – in the two versions developed by George Dickie. Despite the fact that the institutional theory introduced a social factor as an important element in defining what an artwork is, it has faced many serious objections. )n the light of these objections, it seems that the institutional theory of art is too broad. )n order to avoid a certain number of objections, parts of the institutional theory may be combined with other (functional) conditions in such a way as to arrive at so-called hybrid theories of art. It can be shown that these are more successful than the institutional theory. However, they also elicit some objections.
