Work of art I would like to make
Knowledge of “being-in-the –world” is not transmitted across generations as a ready-made corpus of information, but rather undergoes continual regeneration in the context of every person’s practical engagement with his/her own surroundings. A famous anthropologist, Tim Ingold, has recently claimed that there are strong parallels between the art of being and the art/craft of weaving; in its practical execution, weaving builds up a relationship between its constituent elements which does not allow their spatio-temporal isolation and/or crystallization. Weaving is about bringing these elements together, it is about constructing a flowing sequence. Weaving is an art/craft of “continuous becoming” rather than “static being”. Largely drawing upon this premise, my project “weaving as art and as a metaphor for being” aims at demonstrating that at the onset of the 21st century, weaving and the broader fields of art and technology as ways of exploring knowledge and experience of the world, may be considered compatible at a number of levels. My work reflects my concern over issues of perception and praxis, design and construction, the generation and reproduction of form, the relation between bodily movements and lived time/space, the combination of/relation between old and new techniques, materials, morphological and stylistic traits. The fundamental aim of this project is to demonstrate that weaving is an act which combines knowing, perceiving, learning, remembering and imagining, a social activity that goes on within the context of people’s mutual involvement in a richly structured world, in short, a very eloquent metaphor for understanding and appreciating “social being” at the onset of the 21st century. |
