Conceptual focus in the intellectual pursuit of art (June 23 2013)
Amanda McGregor the British consultant who works with Directors and Creative professionals in development, creativity and planning has published an article in ArtLyst titled ‘The Energy Frequency Of Creation In Our Relationship To Art’ in which she states “Our dependency on our relationship to art normally starts at a young age. This is prompted through a need to escape to a world of magic and fantasy and be immersed in our creative flow. The ‘flow’ is the energy frequency of ‘creation’ and expression. Through creating moments with ourselves, we allow a freedom of spirit, peace, our truth to be spoken and our true dynamics of experience to be fully expressed, emotionally, in vision and intellectually. With a conceptual focus in the intellectual pursuit of art, we play with the thoughts and perspectives we create, allowing a connection with a larger picture in creation, to play with the logic, sight, experience and the vision of ourselves and others. However this form of play, can be considered a way of muse, a way of entertaining ones inner muse, it’s a form of being a ‘player’. When we grow up, we may find our inner child is still dominating in this playful muse, at the expense of the responsibilities of adult life. We can be a slave to our desires to be creatively free. To be able to live in the space of preferred existence we enter in to a journey in which we hope the ‘art world’ will meet us. The infrastructure of funding, buyers, curators, artist, critic and gallerists is an eco-system of community designed to help protect the sensitive art world of ‘play’. As an adult some artists may be met with a challenge in finding they are beyond a system of understanding, or process, thereby not necessarily supported by ‘art world’ connections…” Inspired by Amanda McGregor, ArtlystInspired by Amanda McGregor, Artlyst ow.ly/lE7Pj source Twitter ow.ly/lE7yl
