Dena Shottenkirk, Neutral Monism, 2018, oil on canvas, paper, wood, mixed media, various dimensions 🚫
Neutral Monism - Art is a kind of epistemology — a kind of knowledge acquisition. It is an epistemic practice that allows us to construct a world in the face of a bombardment of vast amounts of sense data. In this I argue for an ontology that emphasizes a reality unparsed; a neutral monism. The artist (and I am here using examples of visual art, though I would apply this view across the disciplines of art) understands the world by selecting and editing from all the plethora of data that each of us experience as embodied beings…” (forthcoming Art as Cognition, Springer Verlag 2021, pg. 118)
