This essay will explore the interplay and connections between relating and narrating, and the possibilities of producing alternative narratives, independent from hierarchical structures located in linearity, causality and genealogy, by exploring what Gilles Deleuze termed ‘involution,’ as an alternative device of relating. This essay will explore and exemplify this, by focusing on artistic and curatorial strategies of the artist/curators Carson & Miller in the exhibition </span></span><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;">The Story of Things</span></span></em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;">. This exhibition’s re-organisation of anthropological and ethnographic objects challenges the conventional and traditional representation of such objects in linear and genealogical ways. Curatorial and artistic strategies of display, such as unconventional juxtapositions, slight shifts of the constituent parts of objects, and incongruous combinations of them will be examined. The essay will argue that such strategies are effective in establishing new modes of narrative organisation and new products of combination and juxtaposition. </span></span></p><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><font size="3"><p>Résumé:</p></font></strong></span><p> </p></strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times New Roman; font-size: small;">L'art et la pratique de lier sont des données capitales dans le développement de n'importe quel récit.

La manière dont cette exposition réorganise les objets anthropologiques et ethnographiques est un défi aux techniques conventionnelles et traditionnelles de représentation linéaire et généalogique de ce genre d'objets. Les choix artistiques et organisationnels qui ont été faits pour exposer les objets, comme par exemple les juxtapositions non stéréotypées, l'accentuation de certaines parties de l'objet plutôt que d'autres et les combinaisons apparemment incongrues, seront au coeur de l'analyse. L'article se propose de démonter que ces stratégies peuvent contribuer efficacement à la création de nouvelles formes d'organisation narrative et de nouveaux modes de combinaison et de juxtaposition d'objets.</span></span> |
