more on restoration

Look at this paper on the issue of preserving contemporary artworks:

The Artist's Sanction in Contemporary Art
Irvin, Sherri
Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, vol. 63, no. 4, pp. 315-326, Fall 2005

e-available

reading on restoration

I know that you're hard at work on your papers, but we might get started on the possible metaphysical implications or presuppositions related to the restoration of artworks. To begin, read:

Art and Its Preservation
Author(s): David Carrier
The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, Vol. 43 No. 3 (Spring, 1985), pp. 291-300

It's e-available.

We'll devote some of this week to more on of Rohrbaugh's argument against type-theory and to some of the problems facing musical perdurantism (4D-ism). This might be relevant:

Defending Musical Perdurantism
Caplan, Ben; Matheson, Carl
British Journal of Aesthetics, vol. 46, no. 1, pp. 59-69, January 2006

This is e-available too.

Dodd reply - Rohrbaugh assigment

Hi gang.

Would I be correct in assuming that the Dodd reply that we are to evaluate is contained in: "Time, Continuants and the Ontology of Music" British Journal of Aesthetics Vol44(4) pp 342-360?

I am having no luck in accessing this via e journal...it's keeps sending me back to the library log in page.

Does anybody have a copy of the article that you could send me at graveld@mymts.net?

Thanks,

danny

10x20x20

Cliff Eyland and I are giving a presentation on some conceptual text art that we've made at the next 10x20x20 event, which will be held at 8 pm next Friday, Oct. 15, at the Park Theatre (698 Osborne St.). 10x20x20 consists of ten presenters drawn from the art and design/architecture communities talking about twenty slides each for twenty seconds a slide. So, each person's presentation is only six minutes and forty seconds long. If you want to know more, here's a link.
