Would you consider yourself an appropriator, or are you just continuing an ongoing conversation in art? Anne Cottingham
Everybody’s version of appropriation is different, but to me that word seems to denote an aesthetic appropriation. I wouldn’t want to claim that my level of investigation is any deeper than anyone else’s but I don’t like to use the word appropriation. It’s hard to find a word that works actually; inhabiting is an impossibility and pretentious. Something like investigation I think makes the most sense in terms of looking at not just a specific work by an artist, and not just one artist either but more a period or a time. I’m investigating periods of transition in terms of a moment in art history. - Damian Moppett Originally Quoted Here
