Tiivistelmä
My thesis is a study divided in three parts. The first part of the thesis elaborated on how text has become a part of contemporary art. I open up the term logos and demonstrate how it has increasingly intervened in creating information that is considered to be crucial in understanding art today.
I start by investigating the ancient Greek meaning of the word and language. I proceed with building the argument by examining the use of text in an artwork. Finally coming to conclusions that implicate that the use of text has made art more rationalized.
In the second chapters I examine what the Greek philosophical term constant present originally meant. In the following chapters I take a closer look at this term including how it can be related in the visual arts today. I also bring up the concept of distorted glory which I believe is a closely related problem against achieving presence.
The third chapter of the thesis concentrates on a more personal artistic analysis, bringing the thoughts raised in the two first chapters under a more subjective consideration. I elaborate how the presence and continuity as well as, abstract and conceptual thinking are, part of my artistic character and examine how the 17th century term Vanitas is related to the essence of my art. The final chapter draws conclusions about the thoughts the themes of this thesis has risen.
