This volume of texts and images has evolved from papers given at the
inaugural Making Sense colloquium, which was held at the University of
Cambridge in September 2009. The chapters collected here reflect the
multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary sense made at this event,
which became something of an artistic installation in itself. The
essay ‘Making Sense’ by Jean-Luc Nancy provided the grand finale
for the colloquium and is also the culmination of the volume. The
collection also includes articles that expound and critique Nancean
theory, as well as those that provide challenging manifestos or
question the divide between artist and artisan. The volume contrasts
works that use texts to make sense of the world with performance
pieces that question the sense of theory and seek to make sense
through craft, plastic art or painting. By juxtaposing works of pure
theory with pieces that incorporate poetry, prose and performance, the
book presents the reader with a distillation of the creative act.
