RE: Minimalist Piece No. 9. Cannot Phone Dreams
Good for you cracking away! (I join you in all your sentiments and actions.) You don't even need to justify my dear friend. I hear you and your indignation (you are too far above the infantile ones in this world to even be angry). Politics are shit for being too dumb for words. The money that follows them corrupts everything we could be (artists, all of us!). What I love about Andy Goldsworthy is that he (seldom) leaves a product as an artist: his art is reassumed into nature and the end result is the process. One of the reasons I did not pursue art is this very concern of the added weight in matter it makes (canvases, or blocks of stone etc). It is very artificial to build buildings only to house art (musea and galleries). Yes, they can make for modern temples or halls of contemplation (but seldom do, because here too money talks so loud we cannot hear ourself resonate properly), but the art of the future is going to have to become much more intangible, even behind the scenes. Like in the art of motherhood, the art of studenthood (the eternal student that I am). The art of making love when surrounded by the Enemy.... (Which almost sounds illegal, for there being no law to encourage this!)
