Against Interpretation
The title of this series is inspired by the seminal essay by art critic Susan Sontag written in 01966.
Art is more than its intellectual explanation. It is an experience, a sensual, emotional, and spiritual interaction. The urge to interpret, she argues, is βthe revenge of the intellect upon art,β the revenge of the mind against something it cannot easily contain.
Sontag proposes that we need an βerotics of artβ.
