I keep going back to this idea of writing a mock-phd as a means of testing research skills and personal limitations. Basically I want to write a focused project, a book with a clear directive. It sounds like a lot of fun to me, but it also sounds like an incredible amount of work.
So what exactly is a mock-phd? Its a research project. A big fucking research project with lots of foot notes and lots of ideas and lists. Its a couple of notebooks.
Currently the ideas percolating to the surface are:
Figurative painting of late (contemporary formalism as essays)
Dana Schutz
Roger White
Richard Aldrich
Queer body images and political position (research project)
Gustave Caillebotte
Alexdre Jawlensky
Mardsen Hartely
Robert Morris
