Re-Sited presents the first in the series of informal discussions that examine both the psychology of the “exhibition site” and the “conceptual space.” This conversation is dedicated to questioning: “What is the Site of Art?” and how does “space become a site?”

Exploring the site—the site as medium; the medium as site; the subject as site; the site as subject; the site as object—the object of site.

In our current “meta—disciplinary age,” where artists are blurring the boundaries between visual arts, performance, science, technology and architecture, the site of art has become the subject, the object and the medium, whereby shifting the traditional “viewing process” to an experience of space or rather a “situation” placed in space. The emphasis towards “interactivity” and “inter-disciplinary aesthetics” has challenged the expectation and reception with a work of art.

Moderated by Re-Sited Co-Curators and Directors, Melissa Bianca Amore and William Stover, the participating panelists include:

Eric Shiner is Senior Vice President of Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s. Prior to this, Shiner was the director of The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh from 2010 to 2016, and was the Milton Fine Curator of Art at The Warhol from 2008 to 2010. A leading scholar on Andy Warhol and Asian contemporary art, Shiner lived and worked in Japan for years and was assistant curator on the inaugural Yokohama Triennale in 2001. Shiner has curated dozens of exhibitions in cities around the globe and recently curated An Incident for the 2017 Armory Show. This exhibition “… a series of incidents that start to change our relationship with the art fair—a series of happenings, interactive works, objects and images that make the viewer take pause, think, refresh, smile, and remember that art, by its very nature, is meant to provoke, incite and challenge.”
