Corpusul artistic şi corpusul curatorial, între exil şi remanenţă – conexiuni diacronice către o pragma-dialectică a artelor contemporane
Curatorial and Artistic Corpuses Between Exile and Remanence – Diachronic Connections towards a Pragma-Dialectics of Contemporary Arts

Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates the pragma-dialectic methodology of curatorial research and assembling contemporary art exhibitions. Due to the fact that (most of the times) art contains a non-verbal type of discourse that is being widely instrumented by the curatorial method of exhibiting, and considering that the art object has a diversified specter of manifestations, curatorship facilitates a wide array of display types which can be useful in interpreting and evaluating the aesthetic object. In this article I will investigate the argumentative status of the art object and its pragma-dialectic premises. Moreover, I will question the tensions between the artistic corpus and the prevalence of the curatorial textual argument. Finally, I will address a couple of notions from the linguistic and philosophical sciences, arguing for the reunification of the artistic language with its aesthetic practice, via pragma-dialectics. The aim of the article is to point out a different perspective on the curatorial discourse regarding the contemporary art corpuses. This shows the prevalence of the propositional arguments, therefore the “exile of the aesthetic object”, which can be counter balanced by using the aforementioned methodology.
