27/09/2017 - How does text generate meaning for/in art?

A Generative series - the idea is to create interventions that will have an impact on practice

Sketchbooks

Slow learning – slow to find yourself

Leap of Faith – decoding and unraveling - reassess how I frame critique of own work.

Thinking strategically - endgame – enrich work

how meaning is produced around artworks. Understand how artist can control the meaning they create around their works.

Artist – documents etc

Who is speaking? – What are they saying?

How do we confront meaning? – categorisation

critical, social theory

How will it help formation of critique?

  • observing how we observe –O, Ward –

  • controlling nuances in my text to control/stage stories

  • how to place in a wider context

side note, audit – alserkal – exhibitions – male/female – nationality – group shows – residences

‘local’ art and global critique - How local art is perceived globally, what is local? How are they out of contrast as nationality?

how do we make sense when there is no distance? does artwork need distance from its narrative? can I discuss something I am distant from? Or do I need to be apart of it - links to Langlands and bell/Emin and the depth of research and personal narrative.
