In this thesis, I discuss my recent compositions from the |
|
perspective of contemporary |
|
strands within philosophical realism. In particular, I |
|
focus on the realist theme of the |
|
autonomous existence of objects, an existence independent |
|
of human awareness. I |
|
propose that while we cannot directly or fully access |
|
objects outside human perception, it |
|
is fruitful to speculate on their autonomous existence, |
|
especially within the realm of |
|
aesthetics. My objective as an artist is to inspire |
|
speculation on this autonomous existence |
|
or what I refer to as objects performing their own |
|
existence. I have attempted to |
|
accomplish this objective by using common, found, and |
|
simple objects and by integrating |
|
minimal aesthetic cues within an ecological context one |
|
in which objects and spectators |
|
engage as they normally would outside an |
|
institutionalized art context. I begin this |
|
discourse by laying the theoretical framework for my |
|
practice, focusing on certain |
|
principles of realism. I then survey pieces from other |
|
artists that I believe engage these |
|
realist principles. Lastly, I discuss four of my own |
|
compositions in relation to the notion of an objects' |
|
autonomy and irreducibility. |
