Abstract: | Making meaning out of the complex relationship of a work of art and its immediate, possibly contemporary culture necessitates placing the act in the context of its creation, which in turn opens a wide philosophical enquiry into the act of the creative process itself, as informed and perhaps also driven by the relative period of time surrounding its creation. It is therefore intriguing to reflect on the stage that immediately precedes this relationship and dwell on the concept of poiesis, on the dynamics of an artist’s daily working practice, on both the willed and the unconscious perceptive decisions that stem from the artist’s psychic and bodily being which ultimately have bearing on the vital significance of the work and its communal function. |
