Aesthetics, the imperial discipline of philosophy, is challenged today more than ever by a rampantly accelerating and changing “modern global culture,” in which the field most suitable for reflection seems to be undergoing constant growth. In the present volume of Parkett, we invite readers to embark on an exciting journey back and forth between art and the everyday, in which any certainties about a momentary destination are promptly undermined. The fundamental issues of art may be pursued with great subtlety in the paintings of Ellsworth Kelly, who, as Briony Fer observes, makes the wall a mutely eloquent partner of his works, or with striking audacity in Vanessa Beecroft’s latest coup in which she has acquisitioned an elite troup of the US-Army as her artistic material. The excitement of Ellsworth Kelly’s work is enhanced by his special position within the history of American abstract art, which has made a fetish of the ideas of purity and autonomy., Twice in the present issue readers enjoy an inside view of the New York Guggenheim. The one picture shows Ellsworth Kelly’s 1997 retrospective, mentioned with enthusiastic acclaim more than once in the articles that follow, while the other presents Vanessa Beecroft’s tableau vivant of young semi-clothed and nude women in her SHOW of 1998 at the same venue. Modernism as a lifestyle: contradiction or logical consequence? Jorge Pardo shows great determination in confronting us with this issue. One of his works is titled 4166 SEA VIEW LANE, the address of his own house in Los Angeles, which he built together with an architect. Last fall he „detoured“ visitors of the MOCA to his home, which made Kate Bush wonder whether it was „a public sculpture, a piece of architecture, a DIY house, a case study, a satellite exhibition space, a museum commission, or Jorge Pardo’s home?“ .
