Open Poietics explores the journey of the artwork beyond the artist’s studio, examining how meaning evolves through reception, interpretation, and cultural discourse. The study considers the artwork as a living field of possibility, shaped not only by the creator but also by active viewers, critics, theorists, and cultural institutions. Through philosophical, aesthetic, and semiotic reflections, the book investigates how artworks gain layered significance once they enter public space, and how interpretation participates in artistic creation. Drawing on contemporary visual culture and artistic practices, the text highlights poiesis as a dynamic process through which artworks become sites of dialogue and intellectual encounter. By tracing the interplay between production and reception, the book underscores the role of audiences in extending the life of art, proposing a framework in which the history of art is understood as a history of ideas, interactions, and interpretive agency.
