Art As Evocation – Phil Ford and JF Martel

0 Replies, 123 Views



Quote:The dynamic duo behind Weird Studies, Phil Ford and J F Martel, join the show to explore the ways in which art is a form of evocation.

We look at:
  • Orson Welles as divine shamanic faker.
  • Hollywood’s vaudeville origins.
  • What is a trick and what is a lie and can you even use those words if they show you the ‘truth’?
  • ‘Western’ and non-‘Western’ understandings of the imaginal and the artist.
  • Where ‘inspiration’ and even ‘thoughts’ come from and what that might mean.
An amazing chat. Enjoy!

'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'

- Bertrand Russell
