Reading Discussion On
Agamben, Giorgio The Man Without Content<\/u> 1994 (p.52-58)
Groys, Boris Under the Gaze of Theory<\/em> from e-flux<\/u> 2012<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As\u00a0 a group, please come up with at least 5 points that Groys mentions as the purpose or role (or even consequences) of Theory in Art.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As\u00a0 a group, please take about 1 minute each to recall and describe the actual process by which you engage with theory in your practice.\u00a0 Do you engage with theory before you make work, after, during? Do you question it, follow it, illustrate it, problematize it?\u00a0 How do you handle it, or does it handle you?<\/p>\n

*or never – how do you avoid this?<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As a group, please take about 1 minute each to start to describe the role theory takes in your execution process.\u00a0 How does this then inform how you understand art?<\/p>\n

Break into groups of 4 or 5 and discuss the role of theory, and the role of praxis.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Define each.<\/li>\n
  • What order do they take place and why?<\/li>\n
  • In detail, describe how do they influence each other?<\/li>\n
  • Explain what is represented in this work.\u00a0 How do your interpret the gestures?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In your groups, you will be assigned an artwork and a binary (found or derived from the Groys reading).\u00a0 Please take up a chalkboard\/newsprint area, and build a bridge between your binary terms.\u00a0 From here, please describe details of the work, and locate where they would fall between and unite the terms.<\/p>\n

Baudrillard, Jean Why Hasn\u2019t Everything Already Disappeared?<\/u> 2011 (p.9-77)\u00a0 Final Journal!
1.\u00a0 Answer one of the following questions:\u00a0 a)\u00a0 How do Baudrillard\u2019s propositions in Why Hasn\u2019t Everything Already Disappeared? differ from last week\u2019s Groys article about the role of theory?\u00a0 Or\u00a0 b)\u00a0 According to Why Hasn\u2019t Everything Already Disappeared? how is the \u2018real\u2019 disappearing but also how is it informing the virtual?\u00a0 What is the true disappearance?
2.\u00a0 We have taken a journey of thoughts of nothing by way of the thing, void, lack, value, invisibility, the unknown, formless, the mystic, silence, affect, abolishment, and other theories or concepts that point towards nothing and\/or voids.\u00a0 What are Baudrillard\u2019s suggestions to the idea of \u201cnothing\u201d?\u00a0 Further his ideas by using one other concept of \u201cnothing\u201d taken up in the readings for the class. What do you connect back to and what is revealed?\u00a0 What will you do with this insight for future works, processes or discussions about art and\/or artistic practice?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
