Keywords, questions
- the sensory qualities of sculpture
- witnessing from the arts
- embodied thinking
Can a work of art have a testimonial character regarding political events?
When does one acquire authority to reflect upon life changing events?
How autonomous can an artist or his, her, their work be?
I address these questions
- as a sculptor from within my artistic practice. This results in sculptures, performances, exhibitions
- as a historian who wants to revisit the oeuvres of other artists. This results in curating exhibitions, conferences, the writing of a book
