> The Anthology of Art
> Art and Theory in Dialogue.
> 
> The Anthology of Art offers an internet-based platform for dialogue between
> artists and art theorists from all over the world. Its theme is the vision
> of art and its relationship to theoretical discourse.
> 
> The appropriation of art by its institutions has shown that art and
> discourse are interconnected, placing equal emphasis on both theoretical
> reflection and on the work of art itself. Contemporary art reflects the
> conditions of its own production and promotion.
> 
> Instead of presuming the connection between production and theory, the
> Anthology of Art is investigating, and demonstrating it. At the same time,
> it confronts the global medium of the Internet with traditional
> relationships within the international art. As a result, this experiment
> provides information about contemporary artistic process.
> 
> 
> The Game
> In the beginning, six artists and six theorists were invited to contribute
> to the Anthology of Art. The artists chose one of their own images, while
> the theorists wrote a short text (1 - 3 pages) in their native language or
> in English, both answering the same question:
> 
> "In the context of contemporary art, what is your vision of a yet unknown
> art?"
> 
> The twelve contributions - either images or text - are accessible on the
> Internet for only two weeks. Each participant invites a successor to send
> in a replacement submission, either an image or text. In this way, the web
> site is continuously updated and no more than twelve contributions will
> appear on the Anthology's site at any given time. The rotation of
> contributions will continue until October 2002.
> 
> At the completion of the project, all contributions will be published. The
> final Anthology of Art will comprise 312 different contributions, 156
> images and 156 texts.
> 
> 
> The Investigation
> Beyond compiling a representative collection of contemporary theory, the
> intention is to investigate a production process in dialogue form, without
> the initiators' interference. It is assumed today that art itself is no
> longer being questioned. On the contrary: every word about art tends to
> transform itself into art as well. The Anthology of Art tests the limits of
> this trend. The question is: can a large number of independent authors
> produce a meaningful work as a whole? Will this form of production reflect
> a global society more adequately than traditional, curated models of
> presentation?
> 
> 
> The Anthology of Art
> The year long process of developing the Anthology ends in October 2002 and
> will coincide with the opening of the new library of the Academy of Fine
> Arts in Braunschweig. Six months later, a printed version of the Anthology
> of Art will be published, including all images and texts.
> 
> Summary
> The aim of this work in progress is to forge a new dialogue between art and
> theory. Members of a heterogeneous international community will be the
> authors and curators of the Anthology. Existing contacts will grow;
> unexpected relationships will be initiated.
> 
> The international and interdisciplinary claim of contemporary art has often
> been taken for granted. It will now be questioned by simultaneous,
> ephemeral and aleatoric confrontations of different regions of the world,
> no longer merely from centres or peripheries, no longer from either naive
> or informed perspectives.
