Art Exhibition: Witness in Silence
Abstract
Based on Jane Block’s and J.L. Austin’s discussion of performative expression, this paper turns to the analysis of
performative expression in artists’ solo exhibitions. Starting from the opening ceremony of artists’ exhibition, analyzed the
combination of language, behavior and power in exhibition activities, as well as the interaction and essence of witnessing. At the
same time, it deals with the dissemination and productivity of solo exhibition audience viewing behavior.
