In this week's episode, we welcome Göran to discuss the dialogical nature of art as an encounter a co-creative method of understanding and personal commitment.In Görans words... ''The obstacles and difficulties we encounter in our interaction with works of art are very much like the obstacles in our everyday interactions with each other, obstacles that have different natures depending on the person and the context. And just as we cannot determine in advance the conditions for a successful human relationship, this cannot be done with regard to the relationship to a work of art. There is no method whatsoever that would guarantee a successful relationship, either when it comes to our relationships with each other or with different works. The fact that the meaning of a work of art first emerges in and through the encounter between the work and the recipient presupposes a co-creative personal commitment on the part of the recipient in order not to run amok. If a response were always absent, the works of art would remain mute. In the encounter with individual works of art, we are therefore faced with the task of finding our own personal relationship – something that makes it both easy and difficult. Easy because we can start digging where we stand. Difficult because it is ourselves we have to dig into.''Göran Torrkulla (b 1949 in Kokkola) lives and works in Turku, Finland. Hosted on Acast.
