Workshops series organised by Langarts, interuniversity research group, Paris

Installation art appeared in the late 1950s in plastic arts, forcing the practice into a new mode, in which the "plastic" (the modeling of the form) was no longer applied to a circumscribed material but to space. The modeling also includes the subjective experience of the viewer that the installation claims to seize "as it emerges" while the visitor walks in or around it. We here call for contributions studying physical or virtual constructions involving the meeting between a wandering subject and a prescriptive space in music, performing arts, film, literature.

Content
The competition between philosophy and the arts can be traced back to the ancient times. In the Twentieth Century, this competition reached its culmination when art was pronounced reaching its end while aesthetics was declared irrelevant to the arts. Formalism abandoned the beautiful in aestheticism, Dadaism betrayed the autonomous or artistic merit in formalism, finally the contemporary conceptual art rejected the aesthetic, and so aesthetics or philosophy of art was totally expelled from the art world. Now we reach a historical stage where art and aesthetics are seeking for a reconciliation. The essays in this book show this new tendency in different ways.
