FICTIUNEA CONTEMPORANEITATII: COLECTVITATEA SPECULATIVA SI TRANSNATIONALUL GLOBAL </strong></div>
<div class="small_descr"><br>
</div>
"Practicile artistice sunt in ziua de azi subordonate timpului in forma unei cereri pentru contemporaneitate.<br>
Este, in opinia mea, ceva exemplar in lucrarile Atlas Group, prin combinatia de contemporaneitate si fictiune, in ceea ce priveste constructia unei categorii critice a artei contemporane. Proiectul Atlas Group este exemplar ca o constructie si expresie artistica - o constructie si ca rezultat, o expresie- a insasi fictiunii contemporaneitatii. In special, se va dezbate ca arta Atlas Group este inteleasa in mod productiv ca o constructie/<wbr>expresie a fictiunii contemporaneitatii in forma specifica a colectivitatii speculative a transntionalului global. <br>
Aceasta afirmatie are cinci mari componente conceptuale:<br>
1. Contemporaneitatea ca idee, problema si fictiune.<br>
2. Caracterul global transantional al artei contemporane.<br>
3. Arta ca o constructie/<wbr>expresie a contemporanului.<br>
4. Fictionalizarea autoritatii artistice.<br>
5. Colectivizarea fictiunilor artistice. <br>
Ceea ce urmeaza subliniaza aceste coordonate teoretice inainte de a ne intoarce la proiectul Atlas Group. In consecinta, aspira la statutul unui studiu de caz in formarea critica de canoane in arta contemporana.<wbr>" <br>
<em>(extras din "Fictiunea contemporaneitatii: Colectivitatea speculativa si transnationalul global", Peter Osborne, 2010) </em><br>
<br>
Aceasta prelegere este o premiera, editorul Radical Philosophy fiind pentru prima data in Romania.<br>
<br>

<strong>PETER OSBORNE<br>
<br>
THE FICTION OF THE CONTEMPORARY: SPECULATIVE COLLECTIVITY AND THE GLOBAL TRANSNATIONAL </strong><br>
</div>
<br>
"Art practices today are subject to time primarily in the form of a demand for contemporaneity. <br>
There is, I believe, something exemplary about The Atlas Group’s works combination of contemporaneity and fiction with regard to the construction of a critical category of contemporary art. The Atlas Group Project is exemplary as an artistic construction and expression – a construction and thereby an expression – of the fiction of the contemporary itself. More particularly, it will be argued, the art of The Atlas Group is most productively understood as a construction/<wbr>expression of the fiction of the contemporary in the specific form of the speculative collectivity of the globally transnational. <br>
This claim has five main conceptual components: <br>
1. the contemporary as idea, problem and fiction <br>
2. the globally transnational character of the contemporary today<br>
3. art as construction/<wbr>expression of the contemporary <br>
4. the fictionalization of artistic authority <br>
5. the collectivization of artistic fictions. <br>
What follows outlines these theoretical coordinates before returning to The Atlas Group project. As such, it aspires to something like the status of a case study in critical canon formation in contemporary art."<br>
<em>(excerpt from "The Fiction of Contemporary: Speculative Collectivity and the Global Transnational"<wbr>, Peter Osborne, 2010) </em><br>
