Perhaps we can start with Duchamp - theres a lot of critique available, The question is also how something that starts at teh turn of teh technological century has ended with an industry of hyper capitalsim where artists are feeling excluded in the post-fordist rush to self-invent themselves [ and fail]..a long way from Duchamp. What does an individual feel if excluded from capital? E-Flux represents this rush to authorise 'self-fulfillment' and displays the very opposite - misery when excluded. Hope then misery, through hard work and isolation. The effects that Franco Beradi catalogues in 'The Soul at Work'. I will be looking at E-Flux next session to try and talk about how one self-represents in teh milieu of capital and the vast universe of its industries that submerge art as another work. Peter
