The material on this site — essentially a mix of ‘matter of record’ documentation and related reflection covering some 50+ years of making art — is currently being reshaped in line with Léger’s 1913 Montjoie! statement:
“We are arriving, I am convinced, at a conception of art as vast as the greatest epochs of the past: there is the same tendency toward large scale, the same effort shared among a collectivity. If one can doubt the whole idea of creation taking place in isolation, then the clinching proof is when collective activity leads to very distinct means of personal expression.” *
At time of writing, the thinking is to represent everything under three ‘thinking-through-making’ headings:
Well-Making | process and making as ethical reflection…
Beneficial Practice | art as social labour situated in place…
Mass-Artist | collaboration as distributed authorship…
There is much to do. And until it’s done, it is what Ad said:
“There seems to be nothing much to say, and sometimes nothing much to see.”
– Ad Reinhardt, 1954
