Week 20





Questions and Observations :
- do objects have an independent existence? - a point of view?
- Dumbfixity questions- who is watching who?
- what are objects about and how do we relate to them?

- museums kill objects as they are taken out of context, only the objects in their own setting give meaning.
  - objects in a museum become about scholarly observation and education but not about emotion.
  - Cornwall coast - centre for celtic paganism
                           - Boswell- Witchcraft Museum
                           - Bodmin Moor - biggest prehistoric landscape in Britain

- does drawing freeze a moment in time?- is a drawing a 2 dimensional image that is deliberative and/or intentional?
- language tends to push imagination out and yet language gets privileged
- thought is not knowledge
- art is a mediation between our own energies
