Lorenzo notes on The ontology of performance: representation without reproduction

146:

https://web.mit.edu/allanmc/www/benjamin.pdf (read later) / documenting as 'saving' a moment but not staying the same as in the moment. Artwork and its viewer interacting. Stolen artworks being described and being shown as new artworks of absence,. "de kunst van het weglaten" Control of art vs work of art.

147:

Memory as the invisible layer of art next to the observation. Lost art tests the viewers perception in remembering what it was? *holds on to monocle Reproducing through drawing the impressions of the loaned artworks. The permanent collection of artworks that are loaned, how permanent is that?

148:

Ontological:
relating to the branch of metaphysics dealing with the nature of being. "ontological arguments"

showing the relations between the concepts and categories in a subject area or domain.

Performance Art leaves no leftovers and is temporary.Is it a consumerist art form?
By describing this art form, it changes, because performance is vulnerable in valuelessness / emptiness. Which raises the frowns of skeptics towards (modern) art. "Is dit kunst of kan het weg?" / What's the 'use' of it

149:

words will link into imagination (three lettered word cat to a four legged creature.) but other way around words will shape different image? hmmm?

150:

mute bodies;
metonymy

the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant, for example suit for business executive, or the turf for horse racing.
what is said by what is not being being said

151:

the lack of being. Describing nothingness

152:

Renunciation: the formal rejection of something, typically a belief, claim, or course of action. this is beginning to get quite (Zen)Buddhistic, as it is about the perfomance to put the act and thus the attention into the moment, the Now.

153:

Description did something nice to my brain Exemplary of what was described about description with the absence of image, triggering the image-ination.

156:

Fecundity

Every time I read the word The Fall, it reminds me of this book (also still need to read this)
Thwarted: prevent (someone) from accomplishing something.
Artist self-sacrifice

162:

Every time I read the word The Fall, it reminds me of this book (also still need to read this)
lapsarian (plural lapsarians) One who believes that mankind has fallen from a better state.
Where does performance art 'take' place?
ubiquitousness: existing or being everywhere at the same time : constantly encountered
plenitude: an abundance. / the condition of being full or complete.

163:

Foucault is mentioned I'm not sure if I understand the female position in performance, is performance art always something that goes against patriarchy?

164:

Mostly reading Phelan's opinion. And how language plays a role in emancipation mise en abyme: placement in abyss
