Disturbing New Pathways: Psycho and the Priming of the Audience2010 •
2015 •
Art practice in art therapy is given shape by its simultaneous involvement of artist, viewer and curator and its boundaries of time, space and materials. The drama takes place within contexts such as hospitals, schools, prisons and hospices; the players are positioned in relationships of power and unconscious and conscious processes can be explored. Tutors on the MA Art Psychotherapy, Goldsmiths, University of London, have used aspects of an art therapy practice to explore their individual and collective understanding of the ‘unconscious’. This exhibition, created in response to the centenary of Freud’s essays on the unconscious, is part of an on-going research project, which uses art-making and writing to explore the theme. Freud's essays were in part written as a rejoinder to scepticism of the concept; our research explores its contested relevance to contemporary art therapy practice.

Whatever happened to the unconscious? Among artists and their critics, no one much uses the category anymore to explain their work or to glamorise it. And yet, there was a time when art theory and criticism fizzed with passion for the uncanny, the abject and the oedipal. Has the psychoanalytic moment passed? If anyone attracted that frisson earlier in her career it was Pat Brassington. She remains one of Australia's major digital artists, but whereas her work was first claimed for women's art under licence to psychoanalytic readings, it has more recently modulated into Australian Surrealism and even Dark MOFO. Regarding her work is a study in the changing fashions of theory. 'Pat Brassington-the body electric' at the AGNSW recently, offered a potted history of Brassington's work put together from the Gallery's holding. It was muted and without some of her more flamboyant pieces. It nevertheless traced an itinerary. At the time of Brassington's 2012 ACCA retrospective, A Rebours [against the grain], the Sydney Morning Herald article repeated what is commonly known about the digital artist and photographer, that she was influenced by her study of gender and psychoanalysis in the 1980s as a mature-age student at the then Tasmanian School of Art. Anne Marsh's 2006 monograph on Brassington utilised the critical tools of scholarship at the intersection of feminist theory, psychoanalysis and postmodern cinema to make a detailed reading of the work.(1) At the time, these tools would have been compelling as a way to address Brassington critically – no review complete without reference to Freud's theory of the uncanny and Kristeva's of the abject. That was then. Brassington's work still harbours affects of the uncanny and the abject, but today it is alternatively described as 'quirky', 'disturbing' and even as 'Tasmanian Gothic'. The blog Art Blart accused the ACCA retrospective of being disappointing and the work of being 'dated'.(2) This is an important symptom of the present critical moment. Perhaps theorists in general want to move on, and let psychoanalysis and its esoteric post-structuralist elaboration return to the niche of recondite curiosity. If the hyperventilating of its theoretical vocabulary was at times wearing, how else are we to capture the sense of an art practice that works with resistances, and with logic
