24.2.20 Tutorial with Robert
1. Picking up contradictions: the aphoria, push and pull. Attraction/repulsion, horror/hilarity
2. Metal:
3. Felt and nails: fleshlike
Janine Antoni - work with hair, debris. Mopped the floor with her hair. Performance.
4. Performance: Franz Walther Worn once? Documentation of live art.
5. Stuff: He recognises something in my practice- My hands and body, being next to somebody, an element that happens over time, live art, socially engaged. Accumulates, builds up, Penelope,
Why weave then? It can be fetishised. How about making something that is not about any of that?
6. Live art: Focus off me and onto the people in front of me. How do I document it? Consider form and imagery- body, internal self. Reduce this, Think about situations. Try to work with different strategies, temporary, happen over time, present or not present. Every day live, in time and across different spaces.
7. What is 'Other'? Other people, other things, something more than the sum of the parts. Excess, stuff, but more than what is there, elemental, metaphoriacl. Excess as 'the Thing from outer space'. Film by Carpenter, The Thing. This this is monstrous alien, invades, retains parts of every person / thing it gobbles up. Different bodies woven together, Frankenstein's monster, pejorative identification of people who don't understand. Fear of what is out there, is created by our fear, prejudice. Spilling beyond the work, it can't be contained. Think about the ephemoral, stripped down, Janine Antoni, and live art, situation.
8. Time: What is the place of time in my art? Debate about art, philosophy, life
9. Excess: I'm not just... a knitter, sculptor.... Vito Acconci, Carolee Schneider - body, nakedness. Pared down. Some documented, some not. Instructions, scores. Videos, stepping piece. Lucy Lippard. Experimental history. 'conceptual' art, looking for liberation.
10. Take everything away; Think of it as a different thing. Tangible things or not. Think of clock time vs not time. Partially clothed or over clothed. Look at principles of the imagery of what you're already making.... What is time? Body? Flesh? A line? Point? What is the point??
11. Excitement and anxiety; Push and pull. Live art uses the material of feelings, drawing out tension. The liveness being the material too. Certain time and place, experimental, open ended, ephemeral. Capturing something without it being invasive? Thing about what is a body? Skin, feeling, insides. Look at instructions/scores/drawings. Done or not done. The instructions are the documentation.
