Introduce the Phenomenology of perception and how its theory are manifest in the work of specific artists in fine art today
Introduction
What is the element to make up “Cogitation”? Is base on self-experience, external message (including, environment, culture etc) or character? Most of the time our thought will follow up by some experience for example when we were a child if we run to fast we will drop down. This is an experience make me that be careful. Also, it relates to our “Perception”, how the artist creates through perception and experience is the main discussion of this article.
The first chapter will address Edmund Husserl's theory of phenomenological research taken from his writing in Ideen Zu Einer Reinen Phänomenologie und Phänomenologischen Philosophie(1913). This will form the basis of the essay and what the rest of my research will focus on. Another important element of this chapter will be my research upon Merleau-Ponty’s theory of body perception taken from Phenomenology of Perception(1945) where he also discusses "Perception" is an explicit and creative example that is linked to artistic practice. This article tries to elaborate detailed information on his minds between art and perception and why they can be used to support this theory.
The second chapter will discuss how the artist's creation reflects the functionality of body perception. I will discuss the work of Ho Siu Kee & Marina Abramović, two contemporary artists of similar age who grew up in different Eastern and Western cultures. The media used are very similar, and the similarities and differences will be discussed in this chapter.
In conclusion, I will then be addressing the function of Phenomenology of perception in Marina Abramović and Ho Siu Kee’s artwork. I will reference by Merleau- Ponty ’s body theory to summary how phenomenology has affected these two artists and affected today’s contemporary artists.
