The essay sheds light on relevant questions for a student at the Royal Institute of Art. The questions concern basic concepts in an artistic process during education with a focus on thinking as a central concept. Some of the questions in the essay are: what is idea and form? what is the relationship between idea and form? how does the artist manifest an idea in a form rather than creating a form that represents the idea? what distinguishes the manifestation from representation in an artistic context? what can different forms of language be used for or not used for in an artistic work? The essay is an attempt to answer this questions and to process what has been experienced from practical and theoretical artistic work and studies. The intention is to put the questions and answers in connection with other traditions of idea and thought than art and to present new ways of approaching these questions, rather than breaking down the questions and the essays topics into indivisible units. The approach to reach results and the method that is the basis of the essay, is my own artistic theoretical activity: my work with form in relation to studies in art theory, philosophy and fiction. The results show that the studies did not find any exhaustive answers to the questions, but rather that more unanswered questions were generated. The result is an analysis and dialectic that needs to be discussed further. Since the form of the studies is in written language a question has become relevant for further investigation: what meaning has the statements, the textual narratives that conceptualizes, makes it comprehensible and gives an work of art its meaning whose comprehensibility can not be found in the work of art? / 65 Inkjet prints in A4 dimension of the 33 pages from my master essay Försök and 32 photographs of texts from exhibitions and art institutions mounted on 19 sheets of plywood.
