Henry Staten's Techne Theory proposes a radical realignment of contemporary aesthetic philosophy, criticism and practice. Techne is the systematic knowledge of human activity based around a craft or applied practice. By tracing an understanding of the nature and implications of art (whether philosophical, social or political), via the ancient Greek concept of techne, Staten is able to reignite an appreciation for the artwork as work.
Instead, by subordinating the perspective of interpretation to that of production, Techne Theory offers an original materialist critique that advances traditional materialist It shapes many of our experiences, yet has been consistently overlooked in modern art theory and criticism, despite its origins in Plato and Aristotle, which have traditionally privileged the reader, viewer or listener over the process by which a work is made.
