Aesthetic Decisions at the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale

Mar 8 – Aug 2, 2015

This group exhibition curated by Bonnie Clearwater, Director and Chief Curator, NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, features 20th- and 21st-century works that explore the philosophy of aesthetics. Artists featured include Marcel Duchamp, John Baldessari, Judy Fiskin, Claire Fontaine, Jorge Pardo, Sophie Calle, Jeff Koons, Joseph Kosuth, Mike Kelley, the Bechers, Elad Lassry, and Claire Fontaine, among others. These artists challenge the criteria for judging the aesthetic merits of art works, question the relevance of aesthetics to non-art objects, and reconsider the viewer’s role as the receptor of the aesthetic experience. The title of the exhibition is derived from Judy Fiskin’s photography series Some Aesthetic Decisions (1973 to 1995).

Exhibitions at NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale are made possible in part by a challenge grant from the David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation.

Funding for this exhibition is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council and Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.
