Documenting the environment and context behind an idea, but not documenting the idea itself. 

 

I was thinking about the process of creation behind a work of art, how valuable an idea is to a work of art, how art is a materialisation of a narrative, idea, or philosophy. It made me wonder if I was able to just present an idea as a work of art, leaving behind language, skill, craft, an understanding audience in a gallery. I’ve been thinking about artist’s need to be constantly understood and acknowledged, or at least my own desire to be. If I allow privacy of thought, and encourage a confusion of substance, or allow the artist to be humbled by the sharing of the everyday.

 

​

Maybe the point is just pointlessness, art without spatial layout, an idea without optical materialisation, art with only context, ideas unsubjected to outside knowledge; unquestioned, unaddressed. 

​

The dates and times have been noted as catalogue for when my ideas were exhibited in the space of the everyday.

 

 

peripheral is an everyday unintelligible event.
