Writing, Art and Body

Seminar
Writing, Art and Body

Speaker: Rahmi Öğdül
About the Seminar: In this seminar, the relationship between art and writing, the endless relationship between art writing and the artwork itself will be discussed through texts and works. We know that the body as a space expands its own space with the writings and images it produces in an extent. The space of art and the space of writing never overlap, on the contrary both touch each other and extend one another to infinity: “The relation of language to painting is an infinite relation. It is not that words are imperfect or that, when confronted by the visible, they prove insuperably inadequate” (Foucault). Between the space of art and the space of writing, there is a “very large, gray, ambiguous, untitled” area. This space “... where they achieve their splendor is not that deployed by our eyes but that defined by the sequential elements of syntax.” And no matter how much writing there is on art, there is always a gap behind. We know it from what Deleuze wrote: “Writing is an existence matter that is never completed, always occurring and surpassing every material that is habitable or inhabited... Writing cannot be separated from the existence.” So does art needs to be inseparable? As an exploit of existence for the body, we will try to understand the relationship between writing and art in the context of art writings.
