GADAMER, HANS-GEORG

1900–2002

Fusion of Horizons (The CoCA Public Meeting)

Gadamer: understanding is a fusion of the interpreter's horizon and the text's horizon, neither erased, both transformed. CoCA's Suggested Framework for Public Meetings (§1.2.2) is hermeneutic operations. The artist arrives with their horizon; the institution offers its own; the meeting is the third place where both are altered. We do not interview. We fuse. The minutes are taken at the seam.
