Research: Today, many visual artists are giving the cold shoulder to the static, isolated concept of visual art and searching instead for novel, dynamic connections to different image strategies. Because of that, visual art and aesthetics are both forced to reconsider their current positions and their apparatus of concepts. Many questions surface. Could the characteristics of an artistic image and its specific manner of signification be determined in a world which is entirely aesthetisized? What would be the consequences of a variety of image strategies for aesthetic experience? Would it be possible to develop a form of cultural criticism by means of artistic activities in a culture awash in images? Publication: Lier en Boog, 16, Amsterdam/Atlanta, 2001, 192 pages.

| 2000 | Publication (Editor). Screen-Based Arts - L&B (Lier en Boog), Series of Philosophy of Art and Art Theory, Amsterdam/Atlanta, volume 15, 192p. Editorial Introduction:pp.9-12. Research: In the 21st century, the screen - the Internet screen, the television screen, the video screen and all sorts of combinations thereof - will be booming in our visual and infotechno culture. Screen-based art, already a prominent and topical part of visual culture in the 1990s, will expand even more. In this volume, digital art - the new media - as well as its connectedness to cinema will be the subject of investigation. Issues which emerged during the course of investigation deal with questions such as: How could screen-based art be distinguished from other art forms? Could screen-based art theoretically be understood in one definite model or should one search for various possibilities and/or models? Could screen-based art be canonized? What are the physical and theoretical forms of representation for screen-based art? What are the idiosyncratic concepts geared towards screen-based art? Participants (a.o): Marie-Luise Angerer, Raymond Bellour, Noël Carroll, Sean Cubitt, Chris Dercon, Anne-Marie Duguet, Ursula Frohne, Heiner Holtappels, Aernout Mik, Patricia Pisters, Jeffrey Shaw, Henk Slager, Peter Sloterdijk, Ed S.

| 1999 | Publication (editor). Territorial Investigations, L&B (Lier en Boog), Series of Philosophy of Art and Art Theory, Amsterdam/New York, volume 14, 192p. Editorial introduction: ppp.9-12. Research: Nowadays there are many spaces of fascination in visual art. Of course, installative space and contextual space have been on the art scene for awhile. However, they are now accompanied by other spaces such as urban space, architectural space and cyberspace. In this volume, architects, artists, theorists, three symposia and four exhibitions attempt to find answers to questions such as: Could the architectonic study and/or deconstruction of space play a decisive role in the shift of attention to space? Which theoretical factors structure the current experience and meaning of space? Participants (a.o): Andrew Benjamin, Ole Bouman, Bernard Cache, Paul Crowther, Rem Koolhaas, Geert Lovink, Karlheinz Lüdeking, Bartomeu Mari, Kas Oosterhuis, Eran Schaerf, Roger Scruton, Martin Seel, Henk Slager, Sjoerd Soeters, Lars Spuybroek, Ann van Sevant, Peter Weibel and Mark Wigley. |
| 1999 | Exhibition (curator) and Symposium (organizer). The Smooth Space exhibition and symposium in the VCC (Flemish Cultural Center) de Brakke Grond, Amsterdam is a project at the heart of the publication Territorial Investigations. Spatial interests range from how the concept of space is redefined and exploited in our current visual culture to how the digital world influences our spatial concepts. 1998 Publication. Dutch translation of Gianni Vattimo's La società transparente. Publisher: Boom, Amsterdam/Meppel, 108 pp. Introductory text: pp.9-14. Presented (discussion with Gianni Vattimo) in CCA De Appel, Amsterdam. (February 1999). |
| 1998/99 | Research Project: La survivance du passé. A Series of four Exhibitions and three Symposiums. Research: This project explores the shift in meaning of the concepts of space and time in contemporary visual art.The first exhibition in the series was located in a gallery space (d'Eendt, Amsterdam, february 1998- with Suchan Kinoshita, Voebe de Gruyter, Wineke van Muiswinkel) and concentrated on the experience of the ephemeral both in the work of art and space itself. In conjunction with the gallery exhibition a symposium entitled "The Artistic Experience of Time" was organized at the University of Amsterdam. Debaters: Lex Ter Braak, Herman Parret and Camiel van Winkel (cf. review in L&B (Lier en Boog) Series, Volume 13, pp.115-126). The second exhibition ("The Direction of Time") took place during an art fair (Art Basel, Statements, June 1998). It consisted of an installation by Suchan Kinoshita which forces the viewer-visitor to be locked temporarily into the corridors of one's own thought and to contemplate the compelling boundaries which (art) institutions impose on perception. (Curatorial Statement in Catalogue Art Basel 29'98, p.14) The third exhibition of the project ("Temporal Dislocations") lasted the time of a congress (the XIVth International Congress of Aesthetics, Cankarjev Dom, Ljubljana, Slovenia, September 1998, Ljbuljana Lecture/article: Experimental Aesthetics, Lier & Boog 14, pp.48-53) and was geared toward the investigation of duration and space as a public event of interaction. The fourth and final exhibition ("Dislocating space") in an artists' space (Kunstruimte, Berlin, January 1999) focused on the investigation of the characteristics of the (art) space itself as well as the space in the work of art. These issues were prominent both in the exhibition and in a parallel debate (together with the German Association of Aesthetics/Free University Berlin: Karlheinz Lüdeking, Martin Seel) in the laboratory setting which a (non-institutional) artists' space is.

| 1998 | Publication (editor). The Archive of Development, L&B (Lier en Boog), Series of Philosophy of Art and Art Theory, volume 13, Amsterdam/Atlanta, 192p. Editorial introduction: pp.9-16. Research: In the current debate on art, thought on time has commanded a prominent position. Do we live in a posthistorical time? Has objective art historical time and belief in a continual progress shifted to a more subjective experience of the ephemeral? Has (art) history fallen away and, if so, what does this mean for the future of art? How does a visual archive relate to artistic memory? Keynote authors: Hans Belting, Peter Bürger, Hubert Damisch, Arthur Danto, Okwui Enwezor, Kasper König, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Herman Parret, Donald Preziosi, Lex Ter Braak, Ernst van Alphen, Barbara Vanderlinden, Camiel van Winkel, Kirk Varnedoe, and Gianni Vattimo.

Exhibition (Galerie d'Eendt, Amsterdam) and parallel symposium (VCC De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam) based on questions such as: Is it art's task to demonstrate that the primary violence of signification consciously excludes each form of sacral experience and original interaction with objects? Does a ritual suspension of profane time enable a demarcation of a sacred space? Participants: Tiong Ang, Willem Elias, Jan Fabre, Ger Groot, Dianne Hagen, Arnold Heumakers, Anne Veronica Janssens, Joëlle Tuerlinckx, Patrick van Caeckenbergh, Frank Van de Veire, Daan van Golden, Anne-Mie van Kerckhoven, and Bart Verschaffel. |

Editorial Conclusion: pp.187-189. Research: This issue investigates the meaning of the photographic image for contemporary art. In Malraux's dream, photography offers the ultimate guarantee for a coherent presentation of art. However, as Douglas Crimp has stated, the appearance and enhancement of photography as a form of art among other art forms disrupted the center of the art world. What does this mean for art and philosophy in our time? Participants (a.o): Christian Boltanski, Benjamin H.D.Buchloh, Jean-François Chevrier, Douglas Crimp, Jos de Mul, Hermann Pitz, Liza-May Post, John Roberts, Allan Sekula, Andres Serrano, Jan Simons, Hripsimé Visser, Jeff Wall, Herta Wolf.

Transformational Introduction: pp.7-12. Research: At the core of this issue is the question of the concept of art. Can the intellectual task of art be transferred to philosophy as Arthur Danto maintains? Or is there still a moral assignment for art inherent to modernism? Participants (a.o): J.C. Ammann, Victor Burgin, Dan Cameron, Arthur Danto, Catherine David, Thomas Demand, Chris Dercon, Marlene Dumas, Willem Elias, Jan Hoet, Donald Kuspit, A.B. Oliva, Hermann Pitz, Frank Reijnders, Haim Steinbach, Bart Verschaffel, Remy Zaugg. This research project was presented in Printed Matter/Dia Center, New York, September-October 1996. |

This study contributes to the necessary investigation into the foundation of the field of art theory from a philosophical perspective. Therefore, the four epistemological conditions which enable the figure of art history are explored: subject (Renaissance), object (Classicism/Baroque), time (Modernism), space (postmodernism). |
