L’ORGANISATION DU SOUTIEN PUBLIC À L’EXPÉRIMENTATION ARTISTIQUE : VERS UN MODÈLE DISCONTINU DE CONSÉCRATION

Abstract

This article is part of a broader reflection on the relative authority of the artist over their time of production. Thus, by surfacing the problem of evaluation of finished works, the incertitude concerning the artists working process is introduced to the negotiation between artists and art-professionals and puts the collective dimention of the project management to the test. From a communicational approach, the article studies this interplay of tension by comparing numerous examples of artist recidencies. We discern a discontinous mechanism of consecration of the artist, based on a principle of postponement of decisions, similar to the model of “incomplete contracts”
