Spatial Concepts: Krauss + Foucault

Description

This lecture explores the evolution of spatial concepts in modern art, focusing on the works of Rosalind Krauss and Michel Foucault. Krauss delves into the expanded field of sculpture, while Foucault discusses the significance of space in contemporary society. The presentation delves into the interplay between art, architecture, and language, highlighting the role of grids as a symbol of modernist ambition. It also examines the transition from medieval notions of space to the infinite and open spaces introduced by Galileo. The discussion extends to the structuralist and poststructuralist movements, emphasizing the shift from a hierarchical spatial order to a network of interconnected points. The lecture concludes by reflecting on the contemporary relevance of spatial considerations and the ongoing process of desacralizing space.
