“Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.”
— Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

Sentences on Conceptual Art

by Sol Lewitt

Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach.
Rational judgements repeat rational judgements.
Irrational judgements lead to new experience.
Formal art is essentially rational.
Irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically.
If the artist changes his mind midway through the execution of the piece he compromises the result and repeats past results.
The artist’s will is secondary to the process he initiates from idea to completion. His wilfulness may only be ego.
When words such as painting and sculpture are used, they connote a whole tradition and imply a consequent acceptance of this tradition, thus placing limitations on the artist who would be reluctant to make art that goes beyond the limitations.
The concept and idea are different. The former implies a general direction while the latter is the component. Ideas implement the concept.
Ideas can be works of art; they are in a chain of development that may eventually find some form. All ideas need not be made physical.
Ideas do not necessarily proceed in logical order. They may set one off in unexpected directions, but an idea must necessarily be completed in the mind before the next one is formed.
For each work of art that becomes physical there are many variations that do not.
A work of art may be understood as a conductor from the artist’s mind to the viewer’s. But it may never reach the viewer, or it may never leave the artist’s mind.
The words of one artist to another may induce an idea chain, if they share the same concept.
Since no form is intrinsically superior to another, the artist may use any form, from an expression of words (written or spoken) to physical reality, equally.
If words are used, and they proceed from ideas about art, then they are art and not literature; numbers are not mathematics.
All ideas are art if they are concerned with art and fall within the conventions of art.
One usually understands the art of the past by applying the convention of the present, thus misunderstanding the art of the past.
The conventions of art are altered by works of art.
Successful art changes our understanding of the conventions by altering our perceptions.
Perception of ideas leads to new ideas.
The artist cannot imagine his art, and cannot perceive it until it is complete.
The artist may misperceive (understand it differently from the artist) a work of art but still be set off in his own chain of thought by that misconstrual.
Perception is subjective.
The artist may not necessarily understand his own art. His perception is neither better nor worse than that of others.
An artist may perceive the art of others better than his own.
The concept of a work of art may involve the matter of the piece or the process in which it is made.
Once the idea of the piece is established in the artist’s mind and the final form is decided, the process is carried out blindly. There are many side effects that the artist cannot imagine. These may be used as ideas for new works.
The process is mechanical and should not be tampered with. It should run its course.
There are many elements involved in a work of art. The most important are the most obvious.
If an artist uses the same form in a group of works, and changes the material, one would assume the artist’s concept involved the material.
Banal ideas cannot be rescued by beautiful execution.
It is difficult to bungle a good idea.
When an artist learns his craft too well he makes slick art.
These sentences comment on art, but are not art.

calmenorama:

…a la mañana siguiente de mi llegada a bogotá, el primer lugar al que fui, fue La Musiteca.

Es un sueño. Un paraiso para gente como yo.

En el camino iba hablando con mi amigo Ricardo de Laurie Anderson y del remix de O Superman que él y yo oimos en vivo en fechas y ciudades distintas.

Tambien hablamos de un amigo en común que casi pudo verla en un concierto con su esposo actual Lou Reed en Madrid este año.

Otra cosa que le dije fue que en el 2007, cuando fui por segunda vez a Bogotá, compré en la Musiteca la Edición especial del Big Science que acababa de salir

Recordé que en su momento, cuando O Superman fue un éxito (1984. Eso jamás podría pasar hoy en día) hubo un concurso de Radio para adivinar cuantos “AH” decía la canción. Obvio, yo los conté una vez, pero no me acuerdo.

Entonces pusimos un pie en ese lugar y lo primero que vi fue esa postal. De un grupo de postales a la venta, esa era la primera de todas

Apenas la vimos yo casi me tiro al piso y le prendo una vela.

Laurie Anderson es mi Chinita. Esa postal, mi Tablita.

¡Sí hablas de Laurie Anderson, ella aparecerá!

Morrissey Collapses On Stage in Swindon

According to a report by This Is Wiltshire and numerous accounts by fans online, Morrissey was rushed to the hospital tonight in Swindon, England after collapsing on stage. While finishing the opening song, “This Charming Man,” Morrissey reportedly knelt down, fell to the floor, and was taken off stage by members of his band.

** Update: Morrissey has been admitted to the Great Western Hospital and is in stable condition, according to Sky News.

The house lights then went up and a half an hour later a rep for the venue announced, “Morrissey has left the building,” adding later, “He is seriously ill.”

This post will be updated as soon as more details become available.
