09 Oct Where Nothing Matters: Art’s Paradox
In this episode, we explore “Some Ways of Making Nothing” by Curt Cloninger, a thought-provoking examination of art as an “apparatus” that entangles audiences in transformative experiences. What if art could challenge our understanding of existence by creating nothings instead of somethings? Cloninger draws from quantum mechanics and the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, along with insights from apophatic theology, to redefine the role of art in contemporary culture. Join us as we navigate through intriguing concepts and analyze works by artists like Arakawa and Gins, Robert Fludd, and William Pope.L, revealing how these ideas can deepen our appreciation of art’s impact on our lives. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that promises to reshape your perspective on creativity and its ethical dimensions.
