Conférence de Ondine Bréaud-Holland – Changement d’humeur

I should rather say, to go to meet art exhibitions whose design and arrangement have been entrusted to curators, but also to scenographers specializing in atmospheres or ambiances, when it is not a question, as we see more and more often, of artists wishing to sign in turn a work of creation? To what extent will we be sensitive to the affective tone that emanates from the place and therefore ready to choose it or on the contrary to turn away from it by cutting short our visit? And at what point will the question arise for us, visitors who have come of our own free will to the exhibition, available by definition, of the "fabrication" of the atmosphere in which we are immersed, as of the effects that it can produce on our behavior? This is what I will try to answer by relying on a conceptual apparatus specific to aesthetic philosophy.
