connection between this artwork and my practice:
I got this book recently and I haven’t found time to finish reading it.
There are some elements in my works which align with formless art works but there are some question that I should research more to create a clear connection between my work and formlessness.
As I am not finished with this book, I am going to dot point the parts I am interested in:
Use of term ‘Operation’ which is neither a them, nor a substance, nore a concept to define formless. Use of ‘what we see’ which I found similar discussion in Mono-ha movement, as what is in front of is exactly what we should see.
Formless categories in four section, Horizontality, Base materialism, Pulsation and Entropy.
In general reading I think I should concentrate more on Pulsation and Entropy which I think might be closer to my work. Pulsation which can be described by Morris works and talks about not standing for something else and movement that is Aesthetic. Entropy which can be described by Oldenburg bring disorder illusion into chaos.
