Was ist und wer ist in einer Situation - Fried / Böhme

"Whereas in previous art what is to be had from the work is located strictly within it, the experience of literalist art is of an object in a situation- one that, virtually by definition, includes the beholder."
M. Fried ART AND OBJECTHOOD

"A particular sort of open-ended yet also rigorously controlled relationship among the work in question, the embodied viewer, and the gallery space within which the encounter between the first two was arranged to take place."

M. Fried WHY PHOTOGRAPHY MATTERS, 303

"Der ästhetische Raum [scheidet] nicht Subjekt und Objekt. [Dies] ist der Grund für die hermeneutische Endlosigkeit des ästhetischen Prozesses."
