The Psychoanalyst and the Artist - By Jamieson Webster
In these essays, New York psychoanalyst and author Jamieson Webster considers the relationship between the studio and the psychoanalyst’s couch. From the scopophilic instinct of the viewer and the artist’s anticipation of it to the pursuit of perfection and it’s connection to the girl-child’s curiosity about her mother’s body, she asks us to think about art and analysis as connected practices. Focusing on Carroll Dunham and Louise Bourgeois, she argues for an embrace of our wildest symptoms in theory and in art.
Everyday Analysis produces a series of pamphlets dealing with contemporay social and political issues. The project is interested in Marxist and Psychoanalytic approaches to politics, culture and economics which take a universalist perspective an refuse to align with prevailing identiarian discourses. General Editions now publishes the New Zealand editions, but visit everydayanalysis.co.uk for more information.
