PROJECT: In the current theoretical reflection on the artistic process of
communication, an obsolete apparatus of concepts is involved, one no longer
geared towards how visual art functions today. In "What is Philosophy" Deleuze
and Guattari maintain that it is philosophy's task "to create concepts for
problems that necessarily change". In order to shift towards the development of
such a new apparatus of concepts, the project Concepts on the Move intends to
list and to discuss the topical problems and conditions of the artistic
process, and to investigate issues which could lead to the beginning of another
or renewed aesthetic apparatus for dealing with the theory and practice of
visual art.
PUBLICATION: Concepts on the Move, L&B (Lier en Boog, Series of Philosophy of
Art and Art Theory), issue 17. Editors: Annette W. Balkema and Henk Slager (Fall
2001).
