(="trms">question of) the production of subjectivity (of the judge himself as an active knowing ="trms">agent and the dead-master as the phantasmatic place-holder of meaning)
this is related to='lgc'>: (="trms">question of) ="trms">responsibility and individuality ='lgc'>='lgc'>--> influences and efforts of the work. two ="trms">interesting moments of genesis occurred='lgc'>:
="lstsrd">1- in the court “his work” (Beuys) was mysteriously created
="lstsrd">2- also when Olga got a phone call from the ministry of culture, “her work” was mysteriously created
='lgc'>='lgc'>--> both the court and the phone call are mystic producers of the subjectivity of the artist dead or alive ='lgc'>[='at'>#this needs more investigation='lgc'>]

and beyond that, I am ="trms">wondering, like that judge, when myself standing in front of an artwork (or any work) how i am able to say “I have an opinion, or, I don't know”, “i need expertise in order to look at this”='qstn'>?
