RE-SITED RE-SITES

  • How “site” alters the perception and reception of the work of art
  • The psychology and the materiality of the “site”
  • The relationship between perception, site, and object as intertwining modalities
  • The phenomenology of perception and the conditions of experience
  • How a culture defines a land, environment and site
  • The artwork as inseparable from the “site,” “space” or the “environment”
  • The shifting nature of sculpture and its surrounding discourse
  • How public art, architecture and environments can activate social change, awareness, spatial cognition, consciousness and interrupt pre-conditioned patterns of perception and observation
  • How the viewer inhabits architecture and how architecture inhabits the viewer
