Abstraction, Abjection, Affectivity, Ontological Horizons of Contemporary Art

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This text is about the economy of ontologies. While there has been a lot of discussion on how the economy as a system, particularly with capitalism and neoliberalism, involves certain metaphysics, there has been little focus on how ontology itself has its own economies. I take the position that we live in a time of demand for new notions of ontology. Environmental doom, a rising disbelief in science, and social discord around inequality but also at identitarian and epistemological levels, all involve problems that the current ontological horizon is unable to resolve. The demand for a renewed ontological concern feeds diverse conspiracy theories, or populist and ultra-conservative sentiments, since the assumption is that they offer simple answers for our hyper-complex problems. I argue that not only philosophy, but also art practices may be able to intervene in this economy of ontologies, without providing direct answers or streamlined ontological systems, but rather offering strategies and forms of coexistence. I also claim that this renewed interest and understanding of ontology is far more appropriate for our current state of affairs.
