Next meeting scheduled for August 20th, at 5pm at HomeShop.
To continue on some of the themes raised in lively style in our discussions of Paolo Virno’s text “The Ambivalence of Disenchantment” and its depiction of the rise of the “General Intellect,” we will follow up with two texts related to art.
A short article entitled “About the Word Design” (1990) by Vilém Flusser (May 12, 1920 – November 27, 1991; a Czech-born philosopher, writer and journalist), who says, “A designer is a cunning plotter who lays traps.”
The other text is the final chapter from the 2007 book “The Intangibilities of Form” by John Roberts. The chapter is called “Art, Immaterial Labor and the Critique of Value.”
From the publisher:
“This book looks at the dialectical relationship between skill and deskilling in art after the ‘readymade.’ Focusing on Marcel Duchamp in the first half of the book it challenges the idea that the readymade constitutes an act of anti-art nihilism or is a simple stylistic turn. On the contrary the use of the readymade represents the basis for the transformation of art’s relationship with what Roberts calls “general social technique” (the relationship between art’s place in the social and division of labour and technological transformation).”
