RANCIÈRE, JACQUES
b. 1940
The Distribution of the Sensible (The Reading Room as Re-Distribution)
Rancière: politics is the contest over what can be seen, said, and counted — the distribution of the sensible. The GAI redistributes the sensible by alphabetical egalitarianism. No artist is featured. No artist is ranked. No artist is recommended. Each artist is one entry, one row, one ref. The distribution is mechanical and total. The mechanism is the politics.
