Part One – Diann Bauer, Robin Mackay, Bassam El Baroni, respondent Keith Tilford, chair Uta Kogelsberger

If art is not understood as the site of the irrational, unknowable or the ineffable then what forms of reason does it manifest? And how are these specific to artistic production and artistic methods? If art is to think critically, then can its critique move beyond what has become a determinate paradigm for a conceptual (thinking) practice, that is the self-conscious critique of its own nature?
