%X Que l¡¯art puisse participer ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦dification d¡¯un monde humain est une id¨¦e qu¡¯Hannah Arendt a repens¨¦e dans Condition de l¡¯homme moderne. S¡¯il est vrai que l¡¯apparence comme manifestation est la seule voie d¡¯acc¨¨s ¨¤ l¡¯¨ºtre, l¡¯art nous y initie puisqu¡¯il a vocation ¨¤ d¨¦ployer entre l¡¯artiste et son public un espace commun d¡¯apparence. L¡¯¨¦clat des  uvres d¡¯art contribue ¨¤ garantir l¡¯objectivit¨¦ de notre monde parce qu¡¯elles sont destin¨¦es traditionnellement ¨¤ se maintenir durablement dans l¡¯espace public. Mais certains ont cru s¡¯autoriser d¡¯Hannah Arendt pour condamner l¡¯art contemporain au motif qu¡¯il se fourvoierait dans l¡¯¨¦ph¨¦m¨¨re. C¡¯est oublier que l¡¯art ne se r¨¦duit pas ¨¤ une poi¨¦sis artisanale : loin de se pr¨¦senter comme l¡¯accomplissement d¡¯une fin, il se manifeste davantage comme commencement. En mettant en ¨¦vidence la capacit¨¦ proprement humaine de commencer quelque chose, l¡¯art contemporain rel¨¨ve d¡¯une exp¨¦rience de libert¨¦, au m¨ºme titre que la praxis politique ou ¨¦thique. Il nous r¨¦v¨¨le aussi que si l¡¯ uvre d¡¯art est chose du monde, elle ne vaut pourtant que dans la mesure o¨´ elle ouvre le public ¨¤ un champ de possibles insoup onn¨¦s qui renouvelle sa perception du monde. That Art can participate in the formation of a human world is an idea rethought by Hannah Arendt in   The Human Condition  . If it¡¯s true that appearance in itself is the only way of access to being, art initiates us since it is known for opening a common ground of appearance between the artist and the public. The splendour of works of art contributes to the worldly reality since they are traditionally destined to last in a public place. Some have used Hannah Arendt¡¯s authority to condemn contempory art giving as a pretext it loses itself in momentariness. That means forgetting that art cannot be reduced to   handmade  : far from presenting itself as an achievement of a certain aim it is on the contrary a manifestation of a beginning. In showing the human capability of beginning something, contemporary art comes from the experience of freedom in the same way as political or ethical action. It also reveals if a work of art is a worldly thing its worth can only be measured by its opening to the public a field of unexpected possibilities that will renew the public¡¯s perception of the world.
