Mini-Programme Themes
A Delicate Shuttle:ART AS ‘NON MODERN’
‘In the eyes of our critics the ozone hole above our heads, the moral law in our hearts, the autonomous text, may each be of interest, but only separately. That a delicate shuttle should have woven together the heavens, industry, texts, souls and moral law – this remains uncanny, unthinkable, unseemly.’ Bruno Latour, We Have Never Been Modern (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard, 1993), p. 5
A Delicate Shuttle-ART AS NON MODERN: The anthropologist Bruno Latour proposes that ‘We Have Never Been Modern’: the ‘careful distinctions between nature and society, between human and thing are distinctions that our ancestors, in their world of alchemy, astrology and phrenology never made. But, he argues, alongside the ‘modern’ purifying practice that defines modernity, there is a seemingly contrary one that mixes politics, science, technology, culture and nature. This programme proposes that Art is also such a mixture and aims to apply a concept of hybridity, connections, context, interdisciplinarity, networks and relationships to the perception of Art. The aim of the programme is not to study the work of Latour but to apply a key idea that art is a ‘quasi-object’ (a part of several categories at once) and a ‘delicate shuttle’. Key themes will include:
Art and Ambiguity; Art and the Domestic; Art Ecology; Art and Fiction. ‘I think what we miss…in art schools is discussion. Wayne Biggs talked about “wild conversations”, rather than academic direction. [What we need in art schools is] something less academic.’ Francis McKee, ‘Teaching Ignorance: A One Step Programme’, The Dynamics of Now: Issues in Art and Education, London: Tate, Wimbledon, 2000.
CONSUMING SIGNS‘What are increasingly produced are not material objects, but signs’
Roland Barthes
CONSUMING SIGNSAndrea Peach / Lesley Scott
This programme will look at how we ‘consume’ culture, and the ways
in which the art and design ‘industries’ increasingly produce
commodities that we consciously or unconsciously aspire to
possess. We will investigate theories behind the complex system of
cultural signs and signifiers that surround us all, and use case
studies from contemporary art and design, as a means of critiquing
art and design practice.
This programme should enable you to have a better understanding of
what is meant by cultural consumption and how cultural artifacts
can be read on many different levels.
We will investigate case studies from art and design such as: art
as commodity advertising and branding, labels and identity, and
the cult of the designer. We will also draw upon texts such as:
Roland Barthes, Judith Williamson, etc. etc.,
Students can state preference for a particular programme, and will be allocated accordingly

Programme lists will be posted on CCS noticeboard by end of the week
