Making art politically

I have been thinking that perhaps I should explain what I meant by 'at a loss' in relation to Hirschhorn's work. I see it as a good starting point, one from where anything might happen and any direction might be taken. I suppose it's like being at a junction of several paths with no signpost. A position where a great deal of thought and perhaps some animal instinct might be called on to take me somewhere. Hirschhorn asks the question 'Where do I stand?' and for me to feel, at this stage, as if the ground has disappeared from under my feet can only be a good thing. I am standing but the nature of the ground is not apparent nor is my position in relation to it.
