Some Words from Study Notes
We will bring all different reading/interpretations but at the end we are left with the material.
Materiality – at times inability to see is okay2007 – Painting tied to narrative
Donald Judd, “History of art and art’s condition at any one time are pretty messy, they should stay that way.”Horizontality lies outside meaning – lies outside the conventions of ‘the painting of a tree’.
Anti-Form – “lowering” representationLowering results in;
1 – Object to Subject * viewing * horizontality
2 – Phenomenology
3 – Verticality has gestalt – has good form – reaffirms humanity
4 – Medium
Process - Dialogue determines condition of workProcess – My personal condition from past will open up to me
Can’t separate Art and Life
Condition of sadness or love is the same for everyone – no one suffers it more or less.
My knowledge visually is theoretical in itself. We know that it is the right thing to do even though I don’t know what I am doing.
There is condition to material, or material has a condition.Representing a system
Judd, “A shape, a volume, a colour, a surface is something itself. It shouldn’t be concealed as part of a fairly different whole.”
Not dictating viewer
Once you find your language you can’t get away from it.
