‘ANALOGUE OF SURVIVAL’

SECONDARY REFLEXIVE

JESSE HOGAN – 2019

It is a productive encounter which is reliant and relational to -

The relationship between people (and) objects, images and text and the way in which people construct meanings and definitions of ‘The Real’ based on their encounter and experience of those relationships. (with culture, things, Materiality, seeing / pictures and language. 

The discourse of contemporary art history is a fuels fuel in a self-critical referencing process which intends to reflect a sense of ambivalence and amnesia towards the past and its overbearing dominance on concepts and the modes of production in current Global Contemporary frameworks of art….. of influence of authority of power and precedent,,,, these things only retain their power and relevance in cultural climate  / conceptual framework – System which still believes in the concept of a Avant-garde. Where we are still locked in and engaged in a activity of one up man ship, endgame antics, and get there get in first, the first one to do it and the last one to close it. 

The ( my) concept is that the artist is an Idea Machine….constantly constructing ‘new’ possibilities in (through) creative contexts of meaning,,,; via, tools, materials, technologies, culture, images and language. This occurs in part through constant conscious and collectively unconscious recycling and re referencing of other producers and others productions, philosophies and theories (of the other as producer and the production of others). Amongst other cultural fields of information and relationships This dialogue – is a system of both personal and social symbols (signifiers) which convey/communicate – the state of the individual and the social collective encompassing the producers at that time. 

YOU CAN DESIGN, BUT YOU CAN'T ART! You don't need to parody or say it! Don't use ‘Um’. Put responsibility back on the collective. Don’t take ‘all’ this responsibility on yourself. That's why there is a community and Institutions. You can be friendly but, ‘This shit is not Funny’! Even if (There is an Underlying Joke) – Don't smile! This is a Game!
