Exploring the links between art, philosophy and cancer experiences with Dr Jac Saorsa of Cardiff Metropolitan University.
ON 18 December 2012, CPC plays host to Dr Jac Saorsa from Cardiff Metropolitan University.
"If we observe all forms, especially the organic forms, we find that nothing is permanent, nothing is at rest, nothing concluded, but, on the contrary, that all is in continuous fluctuating movement."
Goethe, The Metamorphosis of Plants
Dr Saorsa writes: "This talk will address the way in which I, as a visual artist and researcher, engage creatively with the conceptual edifice of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, and attempt to put his philosophy into practice. Deleuze provides me with the framework that both supports and challenges my creative ability and integrity, and, in being supported and challenged, I have developed the capacity to challenge in turn. I hold conversations with Deleuze through my work; continuing conversations wherein syntax and meaning ‘de’ and ‘reterritorialise’ as we address the relation between talk and action, between thought and practice. I conceive of ‘process’ as continuous flux.
Through verbalising and reflecting on process I have learned to ‘stammer’ in the Deleuzean ‘vital’ sense of being a foreigner in my own language, and within the perpetuity of process that is characterised in the stammering, the ‘and…and…and…’ I embrace a creative multilingualism in terms of interpenetrative relations between visual language and conventional speech. These relations are inherent and fundamental in my current research, Drawing Women’s Cancer, in which philosophy, art practice, ethnobotany and biomedical science are brought together within an overall ‘narrative’."
