dc.description.abstractThis article is based on a conference paper presented at the 2010 SAJAH Conference at the Faculty of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. It poses some questions about the issue of mediation and presents some key ideas and examples from the history of ideas and practices concerning mediation in the visual arts. Following on from there it considers six registers of mediation as experienced at Venice 2009: a major biennale with associated exhibitions in that city redolent with history, memory and other dimensions of mediation between space and a spectrum of materialities manifest in a wide range of art shown in the arena of a city inhabited by many art works, a city transformed by contemporary visual arts practices while simultaneously transforming and mediating those works by providing a relational context for their reception by an engaged audience.en_US
dc.description.abstractMediasie deur materialiteit in post-mediatiewe praktyke: Hierdie artikel is gebaseer op ’n referaat wat op die 2010-kongres van die SAJAH in die Fakulteit van Argitektuur en Beplanning, Universiteit van die Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, voorgedra is. Daar word sekere vrae gestel oor die kwessie van mediasie en bied enkele sleutelidees en voorbeelde uit die geskiedenis van idees en praktyke ten opsigte van mediasie in die visuele kunste. Daaropvolgend word ses mediasieregisters bespreek, soos ervaar in Venesië 2009: ’n belangrike biënnale met geassosieerde uitstallings in daardie stad wat ryk is aan geskiedenis, geheue en ander dimensies van mediasie tussen ruimte en ’n spektrum van materialiteite, gemanifesteer in ’n wye reeks kunswerke, uitgestal in die stadsarena wat reeds talle kunswerke bevat, maar getransformeer kon word deur kontemporêre visuele kunspraktyke, dog terselftertyd hierdie kunswerke kon medieer deur ’n relasionêre konteks te voorsien vir resepsie deur betrokke aanskouers.en_US
