Making is the production of relations through material events. What I think is emerging is an ontology of making. The clay isn’t the subject. The object isn’t the outcome. Even process isn’t the central concern. The central concern is relation. Relation between body and matter. Relation between force and resistance. Relation between object and space. Relation between time and form. Relation between making and knowing. Visual artist working in the UK. UCA Farnham, Interior Design MA. Canterbury School of Architecture, Spatial Practices MA.

Colouring Light Brian Clarke An Artist Apart/Unframing Architecture

Colouring Light Brian Clarke An Artist Apart/Unframing Architecture

The arts, as technologies, are carried along in the same unpredictable history. Their very finality is uncertain. How then can one found a school of art? Perhaps precisely by bringing together artists, that is to say, technicians, who are no longer assured of disciplinary borders, who explore the frontier zones, the limit zones, the in-betweens. . . .
A paradoxical institution, to be sure, since it institutes a decompartmentalization , giving a place and a frame to operations of unframing.

Sylviane Agacinski, IN-BETWEEN (a notion which is neither a concept nor an image, Tschumi)

At some time, perhaps many times in his life , every man is likely to meet with a thing in art or nature or human life or books which astonishes and gives him a profound satisfaction, not so much because it is rich or beautiful or strange , as because it is a symbol of a thing which, without the symbol, he could never grasp and enjoy.

In the course of a lifetime there are few decisive conversations: with a classmate in high school, a father or mother, a best friend, an admired mentor, a person whose newfound presence will shape the rest of our existence.
