In Parts Imply Wholes and Wholes are Social,
Molly Nesbit touches on how when utopias get displaced fracturing and displacement occur. Parts (people, ideologies, materials) that don’t seem to fit, or align with a current order, displace, and travel. A nomadic sensibility gives up/rise to the space between parts and places. What happens in this space- creates context and establishes a literal, social, or metaphoric connection. Within this ‘now space’, people outside a ‘”utopia” can be banded together.

This happens socially, philosophically, as well as formally in an art object (performance, event, ect).












1. In your MODEL project, you are being asked specifically to address how small parts come together, either by a (forced or inherent) fusion, though lack (some parts are present to represent a whole, yet the whole is not visible), or though connectedness.
1A:How are you approaching this next assignment?
1B: Every project can change, but at this time, how are you planning to get your viewer engaged in the piece both formally and conceptually ?





2. Please describe a section of Molly Nesbit’s Parts Imply Wholes and Wholes are Social or Liam Gillick’s Contemporary Art Does Not Account for that Which is Taking Place that resonated with you and why.
