Founded by the fine artist Robert Strang, and the psychoanalyst David Klugman,
the movement known as Noncommunication re-conceives the art object as having a primarily
psychological function and therefore underscores its value in terms of its capacity to evoke moods
and feelings through nonreference.

Noncommunication accordingly represents a cultural movement in which subjectivity is always prior
to objectivity; in which feeling precedes thinking, and by virtue of which direct experience is always
a prelude to any narrative.

Furthermore, this co-incidence of the psychology of the viewer and the art object acts as a gateway to individual subjectivity, and is innovative for this reason: the real existence of consciousness becomes
self-evident as the movement from unconsciousness to self-consciousness becomes evidence of self.

Building on this premise, we further assert that our emotional vitality and sense of purpose as
human beings will deepen and expand when we realize how the world we live in
is a world of our own making.
