BOREDOM

INTRODUCTION'

When I’m sitting in a cinema and find the film is unexpected obscure, I sense boredom. When I have plenty of time yet not sure what to do but staying in my room, I sense boredom. When I’m travelling on the train with a no battery phone, I sense boredom. When I started to write this paper, I sense boredom. Is boredom merely a boring/negative emotion? What can boredom bring to me? What am I discovering through boredom? Interestingly, boredom is more positive rather than negative to many artists and researchers. As Walter Benjamin wrote in <The Arcades Project>: Boredom is the threshold to great deeds. This paper mainly focuses on boredom from perspectives of psychology, philosophy, contemporary art, myself. Furthermore, related questions to myself.

PSYCHOLOGY & PHILOSOPHY

From Early research about boredom to boredom in modernity

BOREDOM IN ARTWORKS

Ragnar Kjartansson’s <Me and My Mother>,2000-2015. Rafael Rozendaal. John Cage < Silence>, 1961. Fischli & Weiss, etc.

QIAN'S BOREDOM

-What does boredom mean to me? -What’s my boredom experiences? -Is it a problem? -Poetic and ambiguous boredom.-What would boredom be like if it can be characterized? -Can boredom be poetic? -Is boredom chaotic or can it be minimalistic? -Timing experience in boredom.

FROM BOREDOM TO VISUAL

Loop, repeating, soft, more to come… What are the constitutions of boredom? What elements can I extract from boredom and how I manage to transfer this invisible abstract emotion to my visual work.

CONCLUSION

Boredom is a warm grey fabric lined on the inside with the most lustrous and colorful of silks. In this fabric we wrap ourselves when we dream.
