Abstract

Dialogue between Falke Pisano and Lucy Cotter, reflecting on ways in which artistic research exceeds the limits of linguistic thinking.

Highlights

  • The aspect of art enters through bringing problems from a linguistic space into a space that is not necessarily formal or material at first, but that is at least not a space of pure language

  • The Body in Crisis looked at the repetitive occurrence of moments where bodies are thrown into a state of crisis through violent shifts in life conditions, while The Value in Mathematics looks at the notion of multiple mathematics and how culturally inscribed this apparently value-free discipline is

  • FP: Yes, I have tried very hard to speak about abstraction in language and make it as concrete as possible, especially in the Figures of Speech series, which was the result of a long-term examination of processes that occur, when ‘objects’ start shifting their form, materiality, meaning, description, understanding, role, agency etc

Summary

Introduction

LC: You have used research quite explicitly as the basis of your practice, working in cycles that go on for several years, like Figures of Speech (2006–2010), The Body in Crisis (2011–2014) and most recently The Value in Mathematics (2015). FP: Yes, I think this constellation of the experiential in relation to cognitive knowledge is often made manifest in my practice in installation works.
