Abstract

I put forth the conceptual framework of Munity as a didactic abnegation of aggrandization. In particular, I explore the theoretics of non-possession by Beop Jeong and minimalism by Donald Judd as dialoguing agents in my work. I detail the emergence from the intertextuality of such theoretics to a conceptual framework. Finally, I look at how Munity as a conceptual framework in artistic philosophy can express itself in practice.
