Samenvatting

In de afgelopen jaren hebben de praktijken van kunstenaars in niet-artistieke omgevingen mijn geest in beweging gezet. Waar ik me voorheen kon verwonderen over de visuele resultaten van het artistieke proces en wilde begrijpen hoe processen van betekeniscreatie beschreven konden worden, word ik nu vooral getroffen door de manier waarop kunstenaars aanwezig zijn, door hun manier van kijken, hoe ze beslissingen nemen, wanneer en hoe ze handelen, hoe ze verantwoordelijkheid nemen. Ik voer gesprekken met hen en stel vragen om hun processen beter te begrijpen, en ik onderzoek literatuur om mensen te vinden met een soortgelijke zoektocht. Dit proces van ontroeren en ontroerd worden vormt de kern van het boek The Artistic Attitude'.
