This article explores how to integrate the collective creation of contemporary art exhibitions, and how to transform exhibition works into contemporary language and novel visual art materials, thereby generating cultural exchange between Australia and Spain. The Space Between Us (2017- ), co-curated by Australian artist-curator Wilson Yeung and Spanish artist Estefanía Salas Llopis, resolve these questions by examining the contemporary art exhibition. This paper also asks how to transform art exhibitions into laboratories, how artists and curators work together in a collective innovation environment, how collective creation generates new knowledge, and how to develop collective creation among creative participants from different cultures and backgrounds.

Este artigo trata da reflexão sobre a espacialidade proposta pela exposição de arte “2012: proposições sobre o futuro”, ocorrida em Curitiba, no Museu de Arte Contemporânea do Paraná. Constatou-se que a relação entre obra e visitante na perspectiva dessa “arte contemporânea” promove novas espacialidades, que simbolizam as que são criadas pelo sujeito da atualidade, mais autônomo na configuração de sua espacialidade, segundo Berdoulay e Entrikin. O olhar geográfico aqui proposto coaduna-se com a geografia voltada para as representações e resgata a noção de experiência proposta por Yi-Fu Tuan, pois, nas novas espacialidades desse novo sujeito, é ativada a percepção mais que seu conhecimento pré-adquirido. Assim, interessa-nos as representações daí advindas, como as obras artísticas, que são dependentes do diálogo e do ato responsivo de quem as “contempla”, para usarmos as expressões de Bakhtin, intelectual que também baseia nossa presente análise. Abstract PROPOSITIONS FOR THE FUTURE, ETHICAL AND ESTHETICAL PROPOSITIONS: ON THE SPATIALITY INFERRED FROM THE ART EXHIBITION “2012: PROPOSITIONS FOR THE FUTURE” The present article aims at analyzing the spatiality proposed by the art exhibition “2012: propositions for the future”, taken place at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Curitiba/ Brazil. It was verified that the relationship between works and visitor from the perspective of “contemporary art” promotes new spatialities that symbolize those created by individuals in the present, who, according to Berdoulay and Entrikin, are more independent in configuring their spatiality. The geographical view proposed by this article relates to the geography concerned about representations and can be traced back to Yi-Fu Tuan’s notion of experience, for in new spatialities configured by new individuals perception is a more important resource than previously acquired knowledge. Thus it is that our focus lies on representations sprung therefrom, such as works of art dependent on dialog and responsive attitudes. We took these expressions from Bakhtin, whose thinking also sets the basis for our present analysis.

This article develops the concept of proximity as socio-spatial distance by looking at the temporally and spatially condensed events of contemporary art exhibition openings. The article begins by examining some developments in proximity research, the limitations of theorizing the importance of proximity as mere physical nearness, arguing that potentiality renders proximity meaningful. After introducing the art event, we offer a three-pronged approach to proximity by showing the imperatives for being-there, the conditional indeterminacy of potentiality and the politics of proximity. In contrast to much recent research, it is argued that the significance of events is not reducible to evaluated outcomes. Two ethnographic vignettes show the imperatives, indeterminacies and politics in action. We conclude by showing how this conceptualization of proximity has analytic purchase beyond the empirical realm of contemporary art.

This afterword reflects on the tension between art, politics and philosophy at the thematic core of this Special Issue, ‘Migrants and Refugees Between Aesthetics and Politics’. Brugère calls attention to a recent art exhibition – one that came out of her book with Guillaume Le Blanc, The End of Hospitality – at the Museum of the History of Immigration, in Paris, as a way to frame a conflict between two ideas of hospitality, or the broad ethical gesture to welcome others and the political right that more and more governments are unable to uphold as borders tighten around the globe. The afterword elaborates on the aims of the exhibition, namely, to show ‘a correspondence between art and philosophy on the question of hospitality’. Rather than a mere representation of discourse around migration, the artwork displays a praxis of the imagination, one in which cultural production by and about refugees brings spectators to recognize a shared sense of vulnerability and to question received ideas on migration. In this manner, contemporary art forms become an essential link in the ongoing struggle between ethics and politics.
