It makes me very happy that the questions ( which I'm studiously avoiding
taking a position on the answers to, at least in close proximity to the
questions) should provide some kind of tool for thinking /discussion
...cheers!Michael

Just as a snapshot, this is what I’m concerned about right now.
And to answer a question, here is a thought.
18. Can one make art without knowing that is what one is doing?
Absolutely, and perhaps that is a criteria of art. As Sarah Cook once said to
me, Art is that which is critical of its own means of production. To me, this
says one has to have a position and to also embrace ambiguity in making, that
is; art as exploration, finding, synthesizing. The Fluxus person in me says
that now knowing what you are doing while having an intention is at the heart
of art.
But I prefer not to be authoritati ve in making – I like chance.

I do like a good list.
I also like a good matrix! (all those combinations)
And I like Art!
Here's an art I made with Tom Keene and a group of people at the recent
(wonderful) Art + Tech + Commons unconference in Nicosia.

Edward- thanks for the very kind comments! I feel I might be heading towards a
‘database’ definition of art - ‘art is a practice about which the following,but
not only the following , questions may be meaningfully posed’ ( although of
course that is all sorts of problematic and in my heart I remain a
Wittgensteinian over art defintions) I’m pretty sure I came across the elephant
example at some point ( it’s possible I dreamed it though)

Michael,
I agree with what others have said, these are extremely thought-provoking, and
almost any one of the questions would be material for a couple of hours of
discussion. Great material for a book too!
My favourite one is 'If I collaborate with an elephant to make an artwork is
that elephant my fellow artist?' That really appeals to me. First of all, you
immediately start to wonder what kind of artwork the elephant could participate
in - elephant footprints on a canvas? an elephant with a paintbrush in its
trunk? maybe something displayed on the sides of the elephant? Secondly, who
wouldn't want an elephant as a fellow artist? And just imagine the presentation
if you won the Turner Prize!
