Victor Burgin .

Born 1941, Victor Burgin, artist, writer and photographer. He Studied painting at the Royal College of Art from, and when to have finished, I started to study philosophy and fine art at Yale University Until 1967. 

Victor Burgin had made significant contributions as a cultural theorist. When he finished his studies at Yale University, was devoted to conceptual art, mixing artistic techniques, photographic techniques and printed texts.
According to the Tate Museum,
“the relationship between apparent and implicit meaning.[…] he drew on semiotic, psychoanalytic and feminist theory to decode structures of representation.” (HILARY GRESTY- Tate Museum).

His works express the daily life, what we live daily. As sexism, racism, policy consideration.. etc.





"A Burgin is particularly concerned about space and time located" between "means of these dualities, that haunts and subverts all that binary thinking." - (Nuria Enguita May-2001, Antoni Tapies Art Foundation)

When I read, the thinking of Burgin, which express what he think about our society. Based on their principles. When I red the words "Duality", "outside world", the "I", Reminds me of the philosophical theory of Aristotle and Platon. 
Clearly it is because Mr. Burgin studied philosophy. What I mean is that I find it fascinating how he complement the art and the philosophy to make collages. He makes art with reason, following their own guidelines, according to their thinking, based on what philosophers said once. And most surprising is how he transmitted, the reality of the world through their works.

 "Victor Burgin is one of the most distinguished teaching artists of our time, whose cross-disciplinary work bridges media, culture and art. Former Chair in Art and Architecture. He uses all his knowledge to "make art" from philosophy to architecture." (The European Graduate School, 2007)


"Platonic dualism is established in the first instance, among the field of perception (sensible) and thought (ideal). The first deals with the world appearance) of the temporal, changing and corruptible" (Plato.Anthropology; dualism)
