Instead of a reading list could we not engage in the actual production of art? We could take a theme and each participating member could choose their medium of choice (painting, sculpture, music, literature, aesthetic critique, etc.) to express this theme. We could then share this body of work and explore its differences and commonalities. Fri, 6 Feb 1998 08:02:39 EST The End of Art A philosopher that spends a lifetime describing art (or anything else for that matter) may do this by limiting all that is extraneous (simplification) to ever greater levels. The mental constructs become complex within themselves (self referential) but always at the cost of inclusiveness; probably where this thing we call art resides. Finally one achieves mental closure (for this individual on this subject) and declares that art is dead/irrelevant/whatever. It is not art that has died, but the individuals simplified/contained perception of art based on their self imposed/created mental pale.
