Introduction: In the Same Breath − From the Black Box to the White Cube and Beyond
This section introduces a critical framework that discusses the interplay and interconnectedness of media and the dynamic tension between theatricality and the visual arts in the spectrum of Beckett's Breath (1969). Argumentation builds upon the investigation of Fried's seminal theory “Art and Objecthood,” (1967) and Beckett's aesthetic theory in the “Three Dialogues with Georges Duthuit”(1949); both discourses are considered in relation to disciplinary or medial entanglements.
Keywords: Theatricality, Samuel Beckett, Michael Fried, Modernism, Visual Arts
