Abstract:
An Art-Situational construct formulates occurrences of "being" where the Dual Bodily Unit, I
and Me natures interact in the context of the installation through corresponding sensitivity to artobjects.
Six Zones act as structural mechanisms through which the Japanese TimeSpace notion,
Ma, becomes pivotal in building sets of principles that describe factors in establishing "being".
These compose an in-situ, art-as-site, Art-Situational event. In turn, art and participant are united
into an integrally linked system. Zonal configurations show a stratum of manifestations; one's
attention is defined by a particular zonal construct; further exploration forces a shift; another
zonal construct asserts itself; the series of events ever revolving. Since these shifts are ever
occurring, overlapping one for another, the self slips in an out of its I and Me natures within any
given Zone configuration. These are fluid, dynamic shifts of cognitive and physical sensitivity.
Zones are reduced to sets of simplified orders that reveal effect on perception, awareness and
"being"; the models Forms, Classifications, Art-Objects, and Perceptual Principles are essential
aesthetic-relational principles. These groupings clarify forces and factors that exist around each
Art-Object and within the Art-Situation, and, when taken as a whole explain sensitivity,
presentness and "being". |
