man as antenna
Stephen Richardson (La Trobe University)
see a man
standing
his left arm in the air
index finger pointing up
he
is looking down
and saying
please
mind the gap
between the earth and the sky
Stephen Richardson is completing a PhD in visual art at La Trobe University. He is a practising visual artist and holds a BAFA and MVA. His creative works span film, photography, text, and installations. He has exhibited locally and in France, Italy, and New York.
Background to the works:
I have written these as part of my PhD studies in experimental visual art. My research talks to the future of visual art. Could it be that artworks in any physical form have become objects of nostalgia? With the aid of a novel manifesto, I am exploring the potential for the removal of the physical visual art object and its replacement with a cognitive visual art object in this practice-led research.
