&lt;p&gt;Effects of the isolation are many. Perhaps, the first to notice is the spatial confusion and the loss of clarity of your physical presence. Where are you when you partying over Zoom? And where are those twenty people (with you) whom you impress with the Covid knowledge? The mere number of activities and the geographical distribution of their reference points and impacts, questions the relevance of the territorial coordinates defining the position of your body, and maybe even questions the physicality of your body itself.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Cage-Duchamp-Cage</title><link>https://emptyname.org/cage-duchamp-cage/</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Dec 2023 19:12:45 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://emptyname.org/cage-duchamp-cage/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Set against the backdrop of John Cage’s composition, this audio collage features Marcel Duchamp discussing his ego-driven intention to ‘kill art.’ It then transitions to John Cage, who advocates for creating art free of the artist’s ego, focusing on its removal from the process.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Riverscape</title><link>https://emptyname.org/the-riverscape/</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Nov 2023 21:59:27 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://emptyname.org/the-riverscape/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The notation is more important than the sound. Not the exactitude and the success with which a notation notates a sound; but the musicalness of the notation in its notating.” (Cornelius Cardew)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Rust and Renewal</title><link>https://emptyname.org/rust-and-renewal/</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Nov 2023 19:40:36 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://emptyname.org/rust-and-renewal/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;This series of paintings uses fragments of broken umbrellas and iron filings mixed into the paint. Over time, the iron shards rust, changing their color and texture. This rusting, a result of the oxidation, leads to visible transformations in the paintings. Here, the time is employed as an additional material, necessary for the artwork’s unfolding.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Contact</title><link>https://emptyname.org/contact/</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Nov 2023 23:56:43 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://emptyname.org/contact/</guid><description>&lt;form class="contact-form" method="POST" data-i18n="{&amp;#34;bademail&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;Please enter a real email address.&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;error&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;Sorry - something went wrong.&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;loading&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;…loading…&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;powfail&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;Anti-spam check failed - click Solve, then send.&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;required&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;Please enter an email and a message.&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;sendfail&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;Sorry - failed to send your message.&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;sending&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;Sending your message…&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;sent&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;Your message has been sent.&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;solve&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;Solve&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;solved&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;solved ✓&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;solving&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;solving&amp;#34;,&amp;#34;unavailable&amp;#34;:&amp;#34;(unavailable - reload the page)&amp;#34;}" action="https://emptyname.org/contact/message.php"&gt;

This idea is pivotal – the word ‘art’, as it echoes in our contemporary discourse, is a deceptive homonym hinting at divergent conceptions. Indeed, there are multiple facets to this concept, but let’s not lose ourselves in this labyrinth; we’ll focus on the two primary ones.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Painting for Two Instruments</title><link>https://emptyname.org/painting-for-two-instruments/</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Nov 2023 14:37:02 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://emptyname.org/painting-for-two-instruments/</guid><description>&lt;figure class="work-video"&gt;
