On Use
In this article, the author uses a key moment in Michael Fried’s essay ‘Art and Objecthood’ – Fried’s reference to Tony Smith’s car ride on the unfinished New Jersey Turnpike with his Masters of Fine Art students – to think about the possibilities offered to art education by psychoanalysis. In considering Smith’s experience and Fried’s interpretation of it as instances of both pedagogy and Winnicottian ‘use’, the author allows this analogy to ech…
Introduction
Seemingly Empty
In this article, the author posits and argues for a new category of museums: the conceptual museum. By taking the Sigmund Freud Museum Vienna and its Contemporary Art Collection as a case study, she suggests that museums that are seemingly empty, for instance, without objects, are, in fact, filled with their own histories, contingencies and epistemological confluences, which, when they come into contact with the personal histories, fantasies, kno…
Daughter's Tongue

I am specifically concerned with representations of p…

Through a close reading of the paintings, the art historical literature on the paintings, and a philosoph…

Remote Control
In these essays and reviews, written over the last decade, Barbara Kruger addresses that power with intelligence and wit, in the hope of engaging both our criticality and our dreams of affirmation. Who speaks? Who is silent? Who is seen? Who is absent? These questions focus on how cultures are constructed through pictures and words, how we are seduced into a world of appearances: into a pose of who we are and aren't. On both an emotional and an e…
