| Long abstract | We expect to be able to recognize what we see in the visual field but visual experience occurs around a void, an emptiness, over which the artist places semblants. In The Ethics of Psychoanalysis (2008[1959–60]), Lacan likened this to a vase that puts a skin around a hole and veils the open sewer beneath. A “nothing” becomes a “something.” An object is made to exist (148–49).The marked and voided spaces around Karla Black’s sus-pended piece There Can Be No Arguments play with fullness and emptiness, not only as background for the works in space she makes. The marks are written on the rim of the Real. They are not about metaphor or producing meaning. Strip meaning or the hope of it away and an encounter emerges. She dresses and addresses a void. |
