[Frameworks] Silence

[Esperanza Collado]

Hi Jaime,

I highly recommend reading Gianni Vattimo's "The Death or Decline of Art",
which is a chapter in his book *The End of Modernity* (1996??). That
specific chapter is very clarifying in terms of the different strategies
that the avant-garde took in the historical context of the 60s and 70s as a
sort of suicidal protest against the aesthetization of life. The strategies
were the silence in enunciation, negation and the kitsch, visible in the
ways art was questioning and problematizing its own conditions of reception
and presentation. It is a very exciting reading based on ideas of Adorno,
Hegel and Heidegger.

Let me know if you can find it, as I may have a scanned copy somewhere.

Best,

Esperanza.
