further thinking after talk with Edward, notes on the “series” and the “event”:
“a canvas is just a layer of a series ‘happening’ or ‘eventing’ on a space which is transgressed, a series is a layer of work, work is life, which is a layer for everything.” (Alexandra Pereira, on the work of Bracha L. Ettinger)
“It is rather one way of understanding the sub-symbolic, affective transformative process of the aesthetic encounter. Someone else’s event resonates in me; the encounter becomes the place in which the event becomes lively, without any mutual knowledge. Events I do not know in myself and the others I already carry may also resonate through the encounter in and through the structuring by artistic form that is the condition of it being an art event.” (Griselda Pollock, One Painting Opens onto the Many)
