Abstract

As part of a more extensive research that deals with the installation as a stage device, this work makes a reading of the minimalist art as a direct antecedent of the incorporation of the space in the aesthetic experience of the spectator and, therefore, central to understand the configuration of a new relationship between the spectator and the art work.  For this, we revise the critical text by Michael Fried, «Art and Objecthood» (2004), in which it appears for the first time the adjective theatrical applied to contemporary art, as a very pejorative expression. It is contrasted with the perspectives of Hal Foster (2001) and Georges Didi-Huberman (2010), who have revised Fried’s work and have made significant contributions to minimalism. The three authors provide with an analysis of great interest for the construction of conceptual categories central to the understanding and analysis of the installations.
