Praxis 1: Embodiment
We use 'embodiment' as a loose theme to guide our discussions throughout the semester and seek to explore the diverse ways in which questions of embodiment influence contemporary art practices. Embodiment is an essential quality shared by all human beings, yet, it is at the same time the one characteristic that initially distinguishes us from one another individually, existing thanks to, through and with difference. Our body: it is indeed a given that we all have to take into consideration, in all areas of life. Sex, skin color, size, weight, volume, age. We can decide to actively appropriate our embodiment, through fashion, identity politics, or performance of one’s own gender, for example. Or we can find strategies to reinvent our embodiment: to fake it, to fictionalize it, etc. Embodiment is where states of belonging and relating to the other take place, and concurrently where those of exclusion and segregation become palpable.
We will engage students' practices with questions of embodiment: how might artistic practices be shaped by and engage specific bodies and embodied experiences?; What does it mean to engage one's own sense of embodiment in and through practice?; What is the relationship between embodiment and modes of representation, whether visual, material, or virtual? If embodiment implies being (in) a body in process, how do artistic practices relate to these processes?
We will also engage contextually with art historical practices that have foregrounded embodiment and theoretical materials that confront matters of embodiment, from feminist, queer and post-colonial theory to new materialist philosophy, performance theory and science and technology studies.
