Proximate Difference in Aesthetics: Jacques Derrida and
Institutional Critique examines interconnections between the texts
of Jacques Derrida and works related to Institutional Critique in
art. At a juncture between philosophy and art, texts by Derrida
such as “Différance,” “Parergon,” “Economimesis,” and
“Force of Law,” and works by Marcel Broodthaers, Michael Asher,
Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Fred Wilson, Louise Lawler, Andrea Fraser,
Maria Eichhorn, and Cameron Rowland reveal shared investments in
questions around the archive, the institutional frames for art, and
the collision of aesthetics, economics, and the law. These
juxtapositions lead to insights not only into the relevance of
Derrida’s work to contemporary aesthetics, but also into how the
approaches of Institutional Critique offer a way of thinking
through issues raised by Derrida’s texts. In being against
traditional aesthetics, Derrida and the artists under consideration
brush up against the foundational premises of the institutions of
philosophy, aesthetics, and art, creating productive frictions that
expose not only the foundational fictions and premises of their
respective fields, but also an alternative means of approaching
philosophy, art, and aesthetics. The small differences that Derrida
and these artists open up through their practice radically reframe
ways of thinking about their respective institutions, fields, and
traditions.
