Contemporary British Art and its Contested Publicness: The Case of the Artangel Trust Experimenting with Site in Britain Today

The Artangel Trust, an independent art commissioning agency founded in London in 1985, is used as a case study to demonstrate how the experimental has come to be found in environmental explorations in Britain today, rather than in more strictly formal ones. Indeed, the curating and the siting of art...

Indeed, the curating and the siting of art, especially in a country whose artistic tradition has been defined by its insularity, has become the main locus of experimentations which touch upon creation, but also contextualisation and funding. The way art has recently escaped its institutional inscription has coincided, politically, with a post-Welfare encouragement of a new, specifically British funding model, combining a Continental form of State funding and money coming from philanthropic giving and corporate sponsorship, inspired by the cultural policy of the United States. This new economic context, coupled with a redefinition of the unusual public spaces these works occupy, point to the new conditions of artistic experimentation in Britain. Le Artangel Trust, agence indépendante de commande d’œuvres publiques qui fut créée à Londres en 1985, est ici utilisé comme une étude de cas pour démontrer que l’expérimental se trouve aujourd’hui dans des explorations plus environnementales que formelles. En effet, le commissariat d’œuvres, et l’installation de celles-ci dans l’espace, en particulier dans un pays dont la tradition artistique a été définie en termes d’insularité, sont devenus les lieux principaux de l’expérimentation créative, expérimentation qui ne touche pas qu’à la forme, mais aussi à l’occupation de l’espace et aux conditions de financement. En effet, la façon dont l’art a souvent cherché ces derniers temps à échapper à son inscription institutionnelle a coïncidé, au Royaume-Uni, avec une rupture politique avec l’Etat-providence et avec la création d’un nouveau modèle national, associant un soutien d’État selon le modèle continental, et l’injection d’argent privé venant de mécènes et de sponsoring d’entreprise, inspiré par le modèle américain. Ce nouveau contexte, couplé à une nouvelle définition de ce qu’est l’espace public que ces œuvres occupent, se révèlent être les nouveaux terrains de l’expérimentation artistique britannique.
