Like artist Michael Craig-Martin’s seminal artwork An Oak Tree—proposing a glass of water as a tree—artist Tim Crouch’s dramaturgy of imagination invites the audience to see what isn’t there, to transform what they do see into something else, to create illusions in bare spaces. He argues that realism is an attack on the imagination. In this talk, Crouch will draw on examples from his work and invite us to consider the audience’s imagination as art’s primary collaborator.
