i have a super-fundamental question about vassily (or wassily) and his whole integration thing. i admit i am not so well-read on the matter. hep me. please.
my main objective (along with learning what he's all about): are there things to directly lift from his work to put into our program? this is to serve the goal of avoiding wheel-reinvention.
does anyone have a link (or even a traditional footnote) leading to a succinct (or moderately not) accounting of mr. kandinsky's specific approach to:
* integrating the arts
* the integration of visual and auditory art forms
* the whole thing of all that stuff being interrelated
* the fundamental unifying premise of all this unity jazz
* a manifesto of sort of the type of tethering to be found in the art-music continuum?
i wanna know what kandinsky's experience of this idea was-
* did he speak of specific moments of inspiration that are to be noted?
* did he speak of art education?
* did he teach artists with music?
* what ideas did he have of specific ways to look at art and listen to music?
* what music was he speaking of?
i'd love to hear these ideas articulated in his words. if that's difficult to pin down, it would also be good to hear it in the words of a scholar who is concise- i need to know the general vibe.
i'm hoping the man's words will inspire me to come up with some real-time activities/ exercises to use in the program.

Vic,
ReplyDeleteI will get some links and text for you. But I think you are being a little picky here. What is the least bit counter-intuitive about visual and sound art being integrated? Why are they separated at all?
It can be merely- merely?- being inspired by one art into production of another. It happens all the time. All the time. And isn't theater and film exactly that, vision and sound? Really, it is no big deal. Let's have fun with it.
