The Subject of Art in Process addresses questions such as:
* How does process activate interactions between persons?
* How can process be decoded so as to be better understood?
* How can ordinary persons and dedicated practitioners share in the process of accessing art?
* What is the make-up of art objects? of performances? of art images? of moving art images?
* How might art be taught in the light of contemporary issues?
* How can one learn to teach ones self?
* What characterizes the new metaModern art of the new millennium?
The Subject of Art in Process not only sets out to construct a new visual-based paradigm, one that attempts to address the vast array of complexities facing today's artists, but perhaps, more importantly, it opens the door to a possible renewed Art Education. Territorial specialists of Modernism are more and more being joined by the border-crossing multi-practitioners of MetaModernism. Whereas DBAE (Discipline Based Art Education) endorsed the Modernist preoccupation with discrete domains of knowledge and a top-down hierarchy that focused more on the 'subject matter' than on the 'subject agent', the Analogos proposes an intra-/inter-active, interdisciplinary option for the opening of the new Millennium. IIAE (InterActive InterDisciplinary Art Education) is grounded in the practice of inner image/outer image fluency of individual subjects engaged as members in a community of voices and as activators, inter-activators and retro-activators, and, in particular, selfTeachers (intra-activators), in a community of voices that share interDisciplinary knowledge.
