What can Involved Criticism do

Domino's project undertaken with Krzysztof Wodiczko, stems as much from criticism as from an attempt to broaden his area of activity at a time when the classical discourse is suffering from rarefaction, not to say confinement. Paradoxically, it is by summoning a proven figure of criticism, an established stance of the critic, that of the trade guild (more than 20 years old), that Christophe Domino intends to apply this performative dimension of discourse on art, over and above mere writing, right to the at times crossed boundaries of the art project. This is a way of claiming the critic as author, and criticism as a participatory factor in the work. Around the World Institute for the Abolition of War project, on which Krzysztof Wodiczko has been working for several years, Christophe Domino, through a certain number of joint projects (documentary and critical research, French translation of Abolition of War, the artist's book, the production of texts, help with developing public spaces, exhibition projects, and the like) sees his critical contribution as an involvement in the work itself, as much as a dialectical experience where the work, like the discourse prepared about it, nurture one another, by way of special know-how, with the whole thing designed to produce a polyphonic and forwardlooking object which is nothing other than a truly political art--which is to say a common art
