Abstract

Based on the teachings of Harold Rosenberg, this paper explored potential relationships between art, biology, and sexuality, through the metaphorical image of the “haploid.” The question was posed: What is the role of art opposite human life? Based on the ideas of Rosenberg, the author contends that art is not only beauty and contemplation, but is also the relationship between individuals. The author contends also that art reveals the contradictions of life itself, and in performance is the dialogue between the artist and the audience. In the discussion, the author touches on: ephemerality and freedom within art, life and death as per biology. The author also discusses sexual reproduction, haploid cells, and veiled prejudice towards sexuality. The author concludes that art resides within a web of problems, anxieties and uncertainties, which reference a reality that exists beyond the everyday, and is constantly moving in new directions.
