We've got to get a few things straight
about Art
before we dive head first into this thing
The concept of Art is an entirely human construct
which means
that all the meaning of Art is imposed from outside
by us incorporating that concept into our being
There is, as you can see,
an internal/external dichotomy:
Art is imposed on an object
by the incorporation of Art into our being
both of which happen simultaneously
put forever in motion
by the first utterance of Art
The utterance is the coming-into-being of all things
so,
every utterance is a coming-into-being
within the history of all like utterances
while simultaneously
manifesting itself as an entirely singular utterance
The utterance exists
both within and without
the continuum
it is itself and not itself
all inclusive and entirely exclusive
All of which is mediated by the Art object
represented in the Textual Chain
as the Productive Object
The Object catalyzes the utterance
All utterance starts with the Subject
engaging the Productive Object
the utterance itself is an Imposition
of the Subject's Intent in uttering
on a Receptive Object
i.e.
The spoken word
The Canvas
The Marble
The Other
As the utterance is an Imposition
it can never be the Productive Object
only Signify it
In turn,
the manifestation of the utterance
in conveyance
takes the place of the Productive Object
within the Totality,
thus the Textual Chain reinitiates,
and
in conveyance of the utterance
the utterance replaces the Productive Object
within the Totality
simultaneously
Accordingly
the Subject/Object dichotomy
has become impossible to separate
Both function simultaneously
in engaging the utterance
As Art is no different than any other utterance
the Productive Object (Art Object)
catalyzes the engagement of all interested parties:
i.e.
"The utterance of Chair"
The Subject (Artist)
looks at a chair (The Productive Object)
(That chair is perceived via the utterance of chair
for
the knowing of Chair is the reception of its utterance)
he creates an utterance of that chair
on the Receptive Object (Canvas)
The utterance of Chair has reproduced itself
via the Productive Object (the (C)hair)
The artist's utterance of Chair
is at once
its own marked utterance of Chair
while concurrently
absorbed in the Total utterance of Chair
(Chair's utterance within the Totality)
In Reception
the Totality engages the marked Chair
The marked Chair
is both
its own Productive Object
(The utterance of Chair)
and a reproduction of the Total utterance of Chair
In this way the Totality absorbs the marked Chair
The Productive object is visible only in the Totality
accordingly
All Subjects engage the Totality in utterance
conveying (as above) marked utterances
which are Received only via the Totality
That is to say,
All conveyance fails to communicate
the truth of the Productive Object
because of the Imposition of the Subject
In the Metaphysics of Text
Art exists in the Productive Process
which is
the marked utterance of Chair
coming into being
within the Totality
(Remember the Totality is Subjectively Constructed)
and Go!
