I work in the realm of social sculpture. This includes my creative practice and also in the various facets of my career and how that develops. Both (or all things) are about making something from nothing, bringing energy and groups of people together to make concrete and substance from the materiality of thoughts and ideas.
My practice is driven by contribution, in a broader post-object manner where the process itself becomes a durational performative action. The begins with inquiry and self-awareness of what is the creative action and framework and how this differs (or not) from the exquisite fucking boredom' of the daily human life. Often referencing the self and the body as site, and as the methodology of the experimental practice.
Beuy’s Concept of Social Sculpture and Relational Art Practices Today. http://chicagoartmagazine.com/2010/11/beuys%E2%80%99-concept-of-social-sculpture-and-relational-art-practices-today/
‘Beuys is famously remembered for two things: the theoretical hypothesis of “social sculpture,” and the statement “everybody is an artist.” A close consideration of the relationship between these two concepts reveals Beuys’s program for art and his historically motivated vision for society. Both concepts have influenced participatory, socially engaged, and relational art today and provide a vehicle for unraveling their historical significance, even if they claim to detach themselves from Beuys’s historical moment.’
‘ “an art taking as its theoretical horizon the realm of human interactions and its social context, rather than the assertion of an independent and private symbolic space.”’
‘“Only on condition of a radical widening of definition will it be possible for art and activities related to art to provide evidence that art is now the only evolutionary-revolutionary power. Only art is capable of dismantling the repressive effects of a senile social system to build a SOCIAL ORGANISM AS A WORK OF ART.”’
Relational Aesthetics - Critique of Culture and Radical Research of Social Circumstance https://www.widewalls.ch/relational-aesthetics-nicolas-bourriaud-social-circumstance/
‘relational aesthetics is used to describe all those artistic practices that tend to erase the line which separates spectators from the work of art. The artist is merely a catalyst who replicates existing social environments for people to participate in. This social event can practically include any profane activity from our everyday lives like drinking coffee, having dinner or booking a hotel room. ‘
