If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

The ontology of representation « Previous | |Next »
March 24, 2005

I'm on my way down to Victor Harbour for the Easter break and so I've little time to post.

But do have a read of this. It is a review by Thomas Huhn of Andrew Benjamin's Art, Mimesis and the Avant-Garde: Aspects of a Philosophy of Difference, (London & New York: Routledge, 1991) in Surfaces It looks to be an interesting use of aesthetics.

Logo1.jpg Surfaces as an e-journal no longer seems to be functioning, as the last, truncated issue was in 1999.

Is that due to the death of Bill Readings?

The closure is a pity. I do think that digital publication is the future not print. Print is old technology.

I will come back to the Benjamin book when I'm down in Victor. The 12 essays, written during 1986-1990, are an art writing shaped by an informed, theoretical (aesthetic) eye. This means that paintings as representations no longer simply address or provoke a viewer; they demand and entail an interpreter.

An interview with Andrew Benjamin.
