(="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'>]

(="trms">question of) the production of significance and ="trms">difference
look at the speech-acts of the judge in the case of Beuys. which nuances of ="trms">difference are generated, estated, established, and propagated='qstn'>? we can study every syllable of the judge's speech-act. the judge goes from one ="trms">fable to another='lgc'>: ="trms">fables of significance, ="trms">fables of influence, ="trms">fables of impression, etc.

boundary-making practices in our shared struggling ="trms">world
='thdf'>the idea that art “starts” and “stops” somewhere
zeroing the artworks eco="trms">system

when is the moment (or how the moment can be marked) that the judge becomes able to say “OK, I don't know.” or “I am opinionated about this art. Let's bring an expert.”
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'>?

how and why in our artistic practices, production of ="trms">responsibility and factuality is hold in the terms and services of design and designer that is busy with building enhanced and efficient ="trms">communication ="trms">networks ="trms">historically rooted in the ="trms">geometries of ="trms">modernist project='qstn'>?

(='qstn'>?what is the artist's) busy-ness with design ='lgc'>='lgc'>--> related to the fathers of correction (='qstn'>?) and proper address

indisputability of the Green Table for Olga
the artist has chosen to protect The Green Table's meaning and message (due to her political and ethical commitments ='lgc'>[for ="trms">world peace='qstn'>?='lgc'>]) in a sense her subject of research remains unrese="trms"nttrm="search">arched, her values unevaluated, her moral settlements settled
