COMPLIANCE
[POST] CONCEPTUAL ART . SYSTEMS . CULTURE > REFRAME
The GET A LIFE: PROFILE is the NEO-PICTURESQUE Ax system snap-shot interpreted within a consultative framework.
​
It's not psychology; it's not social science; the method is centred in art history and the fine arts. The Get a Life: Profile is a brief dialogue that simply asks what's possible within a post conceptual art framework. It's focus transformation than therapy.
​
Working across the two systems—NEO PICTURESQUEQ Ax (images) and operating within the broader Q. LIST, the GET A LIFE: PROFILE is read within a cultural and social discourse context, supported by the coaching component: what's working? what's not?​
​
Compliance is not a consensus—it's awareness within the consultative process.

REFERENCE
Integration between different levels, systems, and dimensions. For me that is the most exciting in the sense that you are well-versed in psychodynamics, psychotherapy, gestalt, personal development, and psychoanalysis. But at the same time, you can also see it in symbolic and energetic terms - and beyond Jungian archetypal psychology, which I like. Then woven through is also the common sense, almost popular reality perspective. There is such integration.
​
…it is multiple-systems-based. Most people would work within one paradigm or blueprint, but you integrate so many aspects from what would Jo Blog say to socio-political to historical contexts as well as transgenerational, transpersonal, interpersonal, psychodynamic and the way you bring in the cultural astronomy, fashion, and film.
​
It’s very easy for people to use a particular modality and, in some ways, make themselves right. You go beyond that.

John Lily, who wrote a book called The Centre of the Cyclone, where he experimented with LSD, sensory deprivation with dolphins - that kind of thing. As far out as you can get! One of the things he says is that everything we perceive, every means of perception, is a belief system, and what we need to do is, when we touch the boundary of a belief system, is go beyond it.
​
In this way, your work challenges assumptions and expands my perception.
​
But then you ground and say, whatever,…”maybe you’re just turned on by her”, the down to earth perspective, as well as analytical and energetic - so the level of integration is just amazing. It allows for a resolution, to see and realise.
​
Then you might say, I think this might be something for you and your partner. This is not from a psychoanalytical point - you can invert the process and we get off the one-track process, so it’s not just about me.
​
You flip it!
​
It’s your ability to perceive. And it’s more than just a dynamic listening space, when the response simply emerges in the other, in my psyche. Its locating resolution through points of view, viewing points, from so many angles and that creates embodiment, and it brings it to a humane level that is irrefutably grounded and connected.
