Relational Aesthetics Song (original)

I wrote this during a residency at the Banff Centre in 2006 after reading Claire Bishop's "Antagonism and Relational Aesthetics". It's on the CD "Songs for a Dead Hare" put out by The Cedar Tavern Singers AKA Les Phonorealistes (of which I am one half). All of our songs are about art or art history.

You're welcome! Glad to be of service.

Nice song.

& great procrastination from writing an essay about this crap...

Themes I have garnered so far from Bourriaud:

It's new!

It's not what you think it is.

It's not like all that other stuff that it appears to be like.

It's really not like them at all.

No really, this is completely new.

Why is it new? Well, for starters we're not interested in newness this time.

I'm sorry to hear about your plight! I'm glad the song provided you a little amusement- good luck with that essay. Try not to use too angry of a font when you hand it in.

Loved it! (Although I'm a little nervous about being trapped in it forever...) ;)

Don't worry- you get used to it after a while, and then it just comes back as a vague sort of an itching feeling now and again.
