Against Interpretation: Searching Marina Abramovic's Face
Richardson, Jack
Studies in Art Education: A Journal of Issues and Research in Art Education, v61 n3 p207-219 2020
In this article, I explore some of Marina Abramovic's artworks as a reference point for developing a possible philosophical orientation that privileges lingering in the search of research. Abramovic's work eludes conventional interpretation. As such, it provides a potential lens with which to rethink and reorient research practices toward unpredictable and unprecedented ways of knowing occurring beyond the scope of established qualitative methodological research processes. In this article, I attempt to reconceptualize the process of research not by offering yet another process, but by articulating a disposition that allows for the emergence of new concepts of thought that might disrupt interpretation, postpone conclusions, and give rise to novel modes of research.
