materialising post autonomy
There is a sense today that art is known, and there is a standard way of staging and thinking about art, which we can call the standard or normal idea of art. However, if this is not true, and for the argument of this project I want to suggest that it isn't, then how do we break with this normalised idea of staging art and go onto explore other possibilities? This then leads to the following possibilities -
We don’t have a clear idea what art looks like
We don’t have an idea about the spaces for art
We don’t have a clear concept to think about and evaluate art
We don’t have a clear concept of the purpose of an art audience
Our point of departure starts by thinking through how it is possible to break our current thinking and staging art, and then to go onto rebuild another idea? Let us say that at the outset this idea is unknown so the series of events will look at working towards clarifying and making this idea known (This unknown idea we will call postautonomy).
The mental image of post autonomy can then be used to speculate about different possible models of art. This is useful particularly in thinking about the expanded role of a Euro-centric tradition of art against the context or backdrop of a Global context. How are we to understand the relationship between a Euro-centric tradition of art against this Global context? Does the space/zone exist to understand this relationship or is it necessary to develop different spaces and zones? How do we locate representations of this global context and the idea of Global cities?
Ideas for staging an event
To stage a series of interlinked, dynamic projects that explore the quality and atmosphere of the different spaces that make-up a venue .
