re-visiting
In-between projects, having just finished when I looked at the sky it was wool, I’ve yet to embark on something new. What a great place to be… like picking out a new pair of shoes.
The feedback I’ve received has been so welcome, it must be one of the greatest assets of blogging on Artists Talking. I’m no longer working in an airless bubble away from the safety of university and the support of a shared studio. It’s truly fabulous to be in touch.
I’ve been re-visiting my MA work and research in an attempt to get back to roots set down years ago. Three amazing texts;
Contemporary Art and The Home – Painter (ed)
The Practice of Everyday Life – de Certeau
The System of Objects – Baudrillard
Now I only stumbled across Painter in the library, and what a find – (something web 2.0 lacks, the act of random discovery)– it investigates how the domestic environment affects the interpretation of an object. Considering that art is made to belong somewhere, say a home for instance, it’s worth mulling over if/ how contemporary art occupies this type of space. How does it sit in an ‘ordinary’ home?
Lots to chew over, nom nom.
