Study of presence with Fernando Domínguez Rubio, in Conversation with Nicolas Malevé and Jara Rocha | Activity

The Last Crisis of presence Session is to Feature Fernando Domínguez Rubio, Who, in Line with His Book Still lifeWill Immerse Us in the Everyday Dimeemmas Faced by the Responsible Staff for Preventive Conservation, Restoration, Registration and Setting Up in the Museum’s Daily Work.

As part of the High latencies Project, We are concerned with the Active Composition of Presence within the Museum Institution. We aim to pay attention to the controversies floating within the infrastructural manufacture of the museum. Previous sessions of Our “Studies of presence” Concentrated on Questions of (Remote) Access, Tensions and Atmospheres, Always in Terms Connected with Technological Mediation. With Fernando Domínguez Rubio, We Focus on the Ecologies of Care Put in Place by The Museum to Compensate for the Physical Fragility of the Artworks It Possesses, Holds, Exhibitions, Contains and Produces. Our Series of Studies of Presence Leads Us to the Museum Object Part Excellence, But from the Standpoint of Its Radical Instability and Its Always Immanent Disappearance.

In His Book Still Life: Ecologies of the Modern Imagination at the Art MuseumDomínguez Rubio Works on the Assumption that Storage Rather Than Display is the Usual State of a Work of Art. With Hyme We will be Discussing Issues associated with the endless task of care and maintenance, and the social/technique regarding that goes into acieving them. This involves identify figures who are offering, such as those responsible for remembering, restoring, setting up and transport, as well as everyday objects like cotton and paper clips, or technologies like lorry suspension systems or the glass used in displays houses. And Most provocatively, We will be discussing the question of the sustainability of this ecology, ITS Political Economy and, in More General Terms, The Relationship Between Museums’ Aesthetic Régimes and their Police on Content and Storage.
