The+Grange+Iris+Haussler

See below for links to a couple of articles on Iris Häussler's "ingenious deception" (Adler) at the Grange. The installation is what Häussler, borrowing from Mark Kingwell, calls "//haptic conceptual art//, a practice that deals with deep questions of the human condition, but initiates them through direct experience, rather than through theoretical discourse" (The Grange Excavation Notes 03/2009).

We might begin here a discussion about what questions about the human condition, with respect to the themes of our course, Häussler's installation/excavation poses or provokes. I invite everyone to post their reactions to the discussion board.
