{"product_id":"16722-dorothea-von-hantelmann","title":"Dorothea von Hantelmann","description":"How can it be that the artistic director of dOCUMENTA (13), of all people, speaks of the \"obsolescence of the exhibition\"? Dorothea von Hantelmann explores this question, referring to a conversation with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and providing insight into her book project, which is nearing completion. While more museums are being built, more biennials are being realized, and more visitors are being counted than ever before, criticism of current exhibition formats is growing. The historical development of museology shows that the venues for art presentation are increasingly moving away from their task of \"object display,\" as defined in modern bourgeois society, and seeking out the experiential and experimental content of things. However, classic works of art condense time into the object and depend on a prolonged reception, which is rarely achieved today. The White Cube has already successfully shifted the focus \"from the produced object to the consuming subject\" and indeed renders exhibitions in the sense of object displays obsolete. At the same time, however, the perception of art must become a \"social ritual\" if the museum's tradition and legitimizing power are to be preserved.\u003cbr\u003eDorothea von Hantelmann (*1969) teaches art history at Freie Universität Berlin.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2937-6)","offer_id":44503950426376,"sku":"9783775729376","price":6.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-5005-9)","offer_id":44573661102344,"sku":"9783775750059","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3117-1)","offer_id":44573661135112,"sku":"9783775731171","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775729376_9f7cb930-8164-4127-89a3-41e9af4a2a3b.jpg?v=1744057194","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16722-dorothea-von-hantelmann","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
