Resisting Art

This text attempts to respond to the question of the relationship between art and resistance to the possibility of art as resistance -- that is it is an attempt to meditate on the possible relationship between resisting and art. Whilst doing so it also tries to attend to the notion that art is an encounter -- between one and something that is brought forth in the movement from craft to something other than what is created through tekhn?. And if so it is always also potentially unknown unknowable until it happens perhaps even after it happens. That even as it might be experienced felt -- an encounter through aisthesis -- it is quite possibly a moment beyond cognition; un pas au-delà as it were. And if so then perhaps all attempts to know it potentially do nothing other than to frame to confine its potentiality.Thus perhaps the very thing that one has to do -- if one is to attempt to maintain the possibility of resistance in art -- is to resist what one thinks art itself is.
