The Creative Mind & Mortality - Artists & Anxiety: The Rock Place and The Hard Place

Quinn Jacobson September 25, 2024

Join Quinn this Saturday to explore "The Rock and The Hard Place" theory. Dr. Jeff Greenberg explained this theory as it applies to war and violence, but it's applicable to all human behavior and interaction. Listen in and find out where you stand: Are you in the 'rock place' or 'the hard place"? And what does that mean?

Art as a Coping Mechanism for Death Anxiety
Symbolic Immortality through Creation: Artists often seek to achieve a form of immortality through their works. How does the act of creating art function as an attempt to transcend death? You can examine artists who explicitly engage with mortality in their work—e.g., Damien Hirst’s exploration of death in his formaldehyde animal pieces or Renaissance artists’ depictions of death and resurrection themes. Let's see how this connects into the rock and the hard place theory.
