Adrian Piper and Immanuel Kant: Toward a Synthesis of Art and Philosophy

Kauffman, Elizabeth

Abstract Details

2009, MA, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Art History.
Adrian Piper (b. 1948) is both an artist and a philosopher. In the late 1960s, while still in school she established herself as an important Conceptual Artist. In the 1980s Piper went on to become the first female, African-American tenured philosophy professor in the United States. These two aspects of her professional life are usually treated strictly separately by scholars, however given the conceptual nature of her art, her philosophical ideas inevitably would have a lot to add to the reading of her artwork. In this study, I take a detailed look at Piper’s Kantian philosophy and it affects and insights on her art.
