Research project: My thesis is on the ontology of art and constitutes a critical inquiry into some influential ontological theories and their aims and methods. Currently, my research revolves around the notion — put forth by Gregory Currie and David Davies – that artworks are actions. Additionally, it addresses issues concerning interpretation and value and their relation to questions concerning ontology.
