The New Decor Exhibition Notes. 2
Hal Foster. Pg 25. ‘…decivilise art’ links back to the ideas related to Primitivism- a different kind of primitive art? ie not about using african style figures but using the aesthetic of, for example, emergency shelters.
all of this about who builds where and what gets built.
re Bachelard, ‘Benign Phenomenology’.
Yes, too obvious and literal but same nice stuff about the impermanence of nests. And quite a lot about reverting to primitive states of being/searching out primitive states of shelter/protection, whether in a physical or mental way.
Lots written in this bit about schizophrenia, with references to D&G. Interesting when considering the approach to 1980’s primitive art as a ‘them and us’ approach. Division. Also what happens in many NGO’s.
Hal: ‘Claustrophobia produced by advanced capitalism’
