The Richard Wollheim Centenary project arises from a particular interest in Wollheim’s work emerging in the Interdisciplinary Psychoanalytic Thought research network’s programme, ‘Trauma and Transmission’.
While connections to many disciplines concerned with the impact on development of early trauma suggest themselves, those most relevant to the meaning latent in Patrice Moor’s method are philosophy and psychoanalysis.
The aim of the project is to bring out, in the medium of philosophy, the artistic and psychological dimensions and intersections suggested by the highly unusual expression that the artist gives to her experience.
Matching Moor’s work with an interdisciplinary programme of talks, the Wollheim Centenary project will open a discussion of how Wollheim’s philosophy of art and of psychoanalysis comes together with the artist’s ongoing work of collage-making.
