Thinking outside: the criticism exposed to the risk of experimentation

Experimentation in arts constitute a refractory object for critics, whom see their concepts in question. Beyond the consecrated forms of history of art, their philosophical presuppositions and academic compromises, any critic that approaches artistic experimentation tests the culture of his time, exposing his subjectivity to the multiplicity of senses and the drives of his desire, without preconceived ideas of any kind of knowledge, truth or reason to conquer. This paper aims to explore the tensions that, at the level of aesthetic experience, are produced in our subjectivities every time we appreciate, interpret or critic experimental art.
