Thinking Urban Heritage in Times of Pandemics: Art Staging and Coordination
Fernando R. Contreras Medina (University of Sevilla, Spain)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-6684-3369-0.ch020
Abstract
This chapter studies the work of the art museum exhibition during the pandemic. The confinement in citizens' homes, as a preventive measure against COVID-19, forced museums to a new virtual staging and an ordering of the works under the technical conditions of the internet. The excess of the virtualization of heritage as opposed to the rational contemplation of art is what establishes the bases of identification of the anticulture proper to capitalist consumption. Theoretical questions of art, philosophy, sociology, and politics are discussed, but only as stepping stones into the deep waters of visual culture.
