TVAD International Symposium 2019
Theme: 'Artists, Designers and the Philosophers we Love'
Artists have long been interested in the field of philosophy; it has been subject to both fascination and scepticism. Artists are found quoting nuggets of philosophy as inspiration and as context for their work.
For
some, philosophers are names to conjure with, to add theoretical
ballast to their perspectives, whereas for others philosophy is a vital
of
source of criticality, offering a new perspective on an individual's art
and the context in which we find ourselves. For generations, artists
have looked to philosophers of the Frankfurt School to understand the
art-society-politics nexus and their role in
it. Other artists, such as Joseph Kosuth, engage with the Analytic
tradition: in Art After Philosophy (1969) Kosuth
responds to AJ Ayer. Philosophy comprises one aspect of an art education
at BA and MA levels, and for many, a Doctorate
in Fine Art practice, requires a serious engagement with philosophy in
addition to theory, history and other disciplines.
Can
artists contribute meaningfully to philosophy? Can there be a
productive relationship between art practice and philosophy that goes
beyond
name-checking the Good and the Great, or merely illustrating a
well-honed philosophical phrase? What is it for an artist to love a
philosophy?
In
this symposium, we want to explore the relationship of art to
philosophy from the perspective of practising artists. Our aim is to
examine
how art can engage with, and contribute to the theoretical problems of
philosophy, and offer a critical rethinking of philosophies re-imagined
and interrogated through art practice. The symposium is open to both
senior and early-career artists and scholars
who are planning or conducting projects in philosophy and art.
The
Symposium will be composed of panels with 20-minute paper
presentations, and roundtables with less formalized discussion inputs.
Please indicate
in your email to which format you wish to propose an idea. Panels and
roundtables will then be formed based on the themes and submissions. We
also welcome film, photo, or other media submissions as long as they
respond to the theme and are within the time-frame
of 20-minutes.
Please send your proposals to Alana Jelinek
