Have you ever heard that children's story about the giant trying to squeeze water out of a rock? I dont want my art to be about expunging read ideas into physical form. I want my work to be about things that I choose to interact with on the street or online and am tongueless to explain why. Sounds or images or objects I am attracted to like a moth to a streetlamp. Where do natural preferences come from? Do I have to write an essay about liking hot pink? I feel guilty about any larger paradigm construction ive attempted to situate near to my work. I dont think my work is concerned with political or social narratives. I just felt like that was what people wanted to hear, you know, market-based-narratives. I think my work is about basic nonverbal things like color. I was worried that this wasnt good enough, but no thats horseshit. I find making art under false pretenses is abominable, in other words, I strive to be honest in my practice. I have watched enough artists invent justification for their decisions to know its not for me. References are however important. I leave them there so that my gestures tie into a larger historical picture. But at the end of the day please take what I do and run wherever you want with it. Once our ideas enter the public sphere they are truly no longer ours. Im grateful to be a strong writer but my job as an artist has nothing to do with psychoanalyzing a bio out of myself. I make the art decisions I do because I am curious about the outcome. How will it look? How will they objects sing together in the space? How will it feel to interact with? Will I enter the image as organically as I walk into a kitchen and open the refrigerator? Will I listen to it on repeat? Will I think about it for years to come, subtly comparing it to everything? I do not actually care about tropicalization, nor colonialism, nor alpha-maleism. Perhaps I personally represent aspects of these themes, but I dont want my werk to be about them, so its not. I care about butterflies and loud music and memories and gasoline and blood pooling in the street. I care about them in a way that I cannot write about. Also I am a human and I am fucking confused and u r 2

Mark Zuckerberg is the best artist prove me wrong.
A rainbow is a perfect gesture. My friend Ryan says The chrysalis has almost hardened over the 20th century caterpillar. Mexico: an unfathomable and beautiful crookedness that I admire and despise and will never fully adapt to.
The point of departure for my DSTROYEDJEANS/DSTROYEDTSHIRT work is a self-reflexive mood board that Ive built based on my personal “branding." A worn out hole in the knee of an old pair of jeans, the shredded crotch of a ten year underwear pair tattered, balls hanging through, the pinky toe of your left foot punches through a tired threadbare sock. Autobiographical source material. The artist as the art pushing the brand. Bruises, rips, spills, twisted metal scars on the highway. Metaphors for darkness in front of our faces; literal and figurative. Both an abstract visual investigation of our apathetic beautiful reality and a reflection the physicality of the painting process.
I typically offset these pieces against my HAWAIIANSHIRT work, a color-filled, buxom, lighter & brighter series, combining the gruesome dark weight of honesty with the glib colonialistic nature of the tropicalized hawaiian-shirted alpha-male cliche.
Rich kids have been making paintings since they were little kids. I must be one.

Has The Internet changed The Ocean? Certainly our perception of it. Everything is chopped and screwed remixed some kind of post some kind of proto ironic earnest lashed together with historical references hyperlinkable personal narratives invention intention cultural amalgamation postproduction search engine optimization instantaneously translated third and fourth and Nth languages selfie poetics. Surveys on obscure cultures and figures and data are accessed by single keystroke. We dont have to memorize hard facts anymore just how to find them. As if our very brains have been outsourced to this continuum of data. We are spending our lifetimes sharing codes and signs. Financial power has been replaced with the ability to manipulate language and images which has shuffled and restructured power society institutions etc. You can buy pirated Hood By Air at the market in Pino Suarez. Nothing is finite. Everything is part of everything else can supplant everything else can commandeer and can meld to everything else. Our brains have become the text of William Burroughs’ Junky. Everything is violently propelled together. Atoms are crashing into atoms. Perhaps codifying into cold fusion. Perhaps codifying into that cold gelatinous beige mush that your stepmother eats for breakfast. All things shifting moving bumping into each other growing decaying performing greater functions. Deeply abstract Meta-Pointillism that we have to step away from to recognize in its glory. How has the Internet affected Art? How hasnt it! The Internet has affected everything and Art is part of everything. Blasting forward in all simultaneous directions. We are strapped to it in paralleled expansion waiting to see where it is taking us what it is showing us. I am trying to compile my thoughts in a cohesive twentieth century manner I want to build unidirectional linearity to share with you. I cannot. A better way to talk about The Internet is to talk about clouds. The best way to talk about Art is also to talk about clouds. I change the song to Ben Frost’s Rare Detay and kiss my girlfriend. The Internet taught me to share this information because The Internet wants and requires and begs for transparency and selfreflexion layering and pacechanging hypermanipulation and hyperoversharing collusion confusion opacity too. What does the hybrid of smoke-and-mirrors and honesty look like? Things which would have confused prior humans to the point of absolute bewilderment. The people who think The Internet and high-capacity data-sharing is a waste of time will soon be the dwindling minority. All physical borders are dissolving. Nations have become ideas again as they once were their parameters and infrastructures are no longer relevant to the conversation. The way we communicate has shifted radically. Grammar is a thing of the past its 2 damn fixed. Punctuations been phased out 2. Throw it in a lake. The way we produce and pitch information has shifted radically. We are looking for hits immediacy propagation. We are predicting virality from our jittering singular shared gestures. This changes the way we present process and subsequently organize data. This changes the very conception of ideas in our heads. The Internet is turning humans into an Amazonian colony of Leafcutter Ants supreme organization is playing out. My friend Joe says The Internet is really just a map of the human brain. The final evolved stage of humanity in Lucy is a USB drive. We dont have to reenforce talking points anymore. Want talking points or proof? Search for them. We dont have to explain references or entry points anymore either- you can search for those too. We are making connections between elements that fascinate us from all places and all periods of time hemming interesting points of data into a chainmail of information that satiates our intentions whatever they may be. It may suit our overarching brand, or merely our disposition as it is in this moment. We might like the way it looks. Or sounds. Or feels to interact with. Or the way it pushes against and rejects all these things. I have been thinking about how to write re: The Internet and Art. The topic couldn’t be more expansive or abstract so lets write expansively and abstractly. As the result of the new way we consume and harvest data we are able to identify what we like and dislike much faster than ever before. This means we can dive further and faster down rabbit holes explore more and more profound territories, and more adroitly define and understand systems. This of course means our targeted manipulation of said systems can be exacted with more poignancy. I run through museums hoping that nothing speaks to me. A moment of repose. We can ascertain and share more data than ever before. This matters to Art because Art is a system of ideas, just like Math, just like Meteorology, just like God, just like Mixed Martial Arts. The more ideas we can collect, the stronger our decisions for or against those ideas can be. An informed idea is a virus, it must spread. When you think of a great idea you tell your peers. When a monkey finds a particularly wonderful leaf, she shows the leaf to another monkey. The Internet allows all monkeys to show all leaves to all monkeys. Why read one book, why look at one piece of art, why share one leaf, why think about one idea, watch one game, when you can read, look at, share, think about, and watch thousands and hundreds of thousands and millions. All you need is The Internet. And an idea. And maybe a camera. To make your taste or opinion public is to open it up to scrutiny. Inside of scrutiny we learn. The part of the song where things start to taper out and scatter into space, far away from us. The lingering distracting impulse to take a selfie.
Okay but what are the repercussions for our inability to focus on one thing at one time? An expanded, refracted dialogue, a broadening of scopes, more abstraction. The branches of a tree grow outward. More options, really. Less necessity to stay the course or dig in to trenches. Less pressure to stylize your ideas through only one font, and an exacerbated desire to seek out more fonts, more solutions, more alternatives, more roads, more techniques, more ways to manifest this idea, this mood, that memory. We can pivot and change our interests like we can change a song. No aspect of the changes that are underfoot, that we are rapt among, are bad. Perhaps they are rupturing outdated business models and as such receiving flak. Ho hum. Change is not a necessary evil. It is ambivalent toward morality. It is biologically necessary. Ones and zeros. All that jazz. Tim Hecker The Ravedeath 1972. The Internet has stacked our decks that much. Kenneth Goldsmith does not need any more press, but his awareness of Nowness precipitates his mentioning here. In the Spring of 2015, he will guide a UPenn class called Wasting Time On The Internet where students will drift through content online, building up a collection of data points which will coalesce by the end of the term into a cacophony of intellectual tonality. They are building clouds. I’m not saying much, but it feels pretty. Sheets of sound. According to his Wikipedia page, rapper and new media guru Lil B built a cloud of content on 155 connected MySpace pages, mirroring The Internet, mirroring the human brain, mirroring an atomic bomb and the expansion of the universe. Now you can download gigabytes upon gigabytes of his music, a monument of the diversity of humanity spewing forth unhesitant; our range, our emotions, the verisimilitude of our day to day struggling and adjusting and flexing and shifting of desires. People want to pin him down as a rapper, but he undulates between subjects and platforms in a way we’d never previously seen. Alexandra Marzella shares graphic macrozoom selfies of the hair sprouting out of her legs and glistening intestinal food shots. Keith J. Varadi has cornered the market on popular art-culture contusion. Daniel Hernandez provides breaking news on Mexico’s political pandemic. The more tapped in we can be to these direct fountains of data, the more our own stances, in art and in life, can be tempered. Sharing can solidify your understanding of and positioning in the fluctuating new landscape. Share here. Or here. We can do more than ever before.
or NEGATE EVERYTHING.
Clouds
Doughy and expanding in all directions infinitely, infinitely flexible like water, and rising like vapor towards the sun.
Expanding like noise. Ugly like noise. Perfect like noise filling a room. Or noise filling a desert., cutting through wind. Noise ricocheting off of canyon walls. Filling CVs, filling history, filling tumblrs, filling our genes. A tinkling tinny piano keystroke. Radio silence. One decision, one show, one raindrop, one human emotion, does not tell a story. All humans tell a story, all raindrops, all shows, all simultaneous decisions create an expansive dialogue that we are holding hard glass to and pulling objects and ideas and gestures out of. The cloud narrative is light. Refracting and bouncing off all things, tying all things together. The cloud narrative turns every gesture in history into a note and asks you to press play. What does your cloud sound like?
This show is not this show, this piece is not this piece, this piece and show are this piece and show in relation to that piece and show in relation to all pieces and all shows. We are creating a narrative with everything we do, singularly, collectively. A good painting is only a good painting in relation to other paintings. The pasta, al dente, in relation to other pastas.
What is a completed gesture. What is a finished show.
Does this mean there are no other questions left to ask? There could not have been other variables or controls imposed? Or are we merely trying to sell the idea as complete. Business wants perfect circles and right angles. Nature doesnt give a fuck about our “truths.” Finality is not for us to understand.
Is a leaf a show? Is a tree a show? Are all trees a show? Is a human a show? Is life a show? Is death a show? Nothing is concrete, nothing is constant. How, then, can anything be complete.
Is the universe a completed gesture?
We love to present our ideas as final, it is part of our “pitch,” we close our eyes tight and pretend that we are masters and commanders. At night we are crying by ourselves scared. On our deathbed we start to believe in God. Not even our entire life, too perfect for us to comprehend, is a complete gesture. We want a re-do in heaven. We are begging for more exhibitions. More opportunities to understand the perfection of imperfection.
No, every exhibition is an experiment. Every gesture a test. Every life and death a study. There is no real permanence in any of our declarations. Nor in the universe’s.
Clouds, like narratives, like ideas, like life, like flowers, trees, animals, computers, pasta al dente, dicks, pussies, cancer cells, cats and dogs, lines of Ketamine, smoke, art objects, et all, burst into life, expand in millions of directions simultaneously, outside of themselves, inside of themselves, and melt into bluegray oblivion.

Not enough art smells like gasoline.
*if you really cared about politics it would
Every manifestation of an idea has something to take away from it. There are always things that can be improved, and exceptions to this rule are very rare. It is interesting to construct a practiced chainmail with the least amount of weak points possible, to cast an all star team, absorbing into your goals and vision all the strong elements you come across, and letting all the weak elements die quickly. Liking is one way of organizing strengths vs weaknesses. Our society seems to follow the same algorithms as our social media platforms. Every context has limits. A context with no limits has a limit: no limits. You start to realize the structure and budget and level of administration that each gesture needs to function optimally and you try to place the gesture into the context that will yield the most truth. This probably becomes second nature with experience. We are consistently reminded by blockbuster artists that throwing money at flaws does not make them go away, instead, it begs attention to them. An artist is no longer so much concerned with mastering one kind of work, but playing with all of the variations at their disposal, like how a conductor adds notes and instruments to build an orchestra. I liked the first time Lulu painted the floor blue, it was the most interesting part of the show. But now that theyve painted the floor orange, the second pass of this goofy trick, the gesture fizzled out. It became part of the transparent branding that each art space does to highlight its unique marketable physical aspects or its directors preferential quirks, etc. They are poker tells that you watch and look for and begin to predict. Unpredictability holds a lot of water right now. Its also spreads things so thinly that we cant tell one thing from the other or who is making what. A group show might as well be a solo. Thats why we dont care about the art anymore, we care about the artist, who is recognizable. Their art gestures are perhaps mere ploys to bring them buzz and with that face recognition. All the writing you all did about Ryder Ripps was his piece. The next time he crowdfunds, will you donate? Reena Spaulings didnt remove the Chinese writing from its window to intentionally remind visitors that they are in Chinatown. Imported Exoticism. They are not in Soho/ they are not in the Upper East Side/ they are not in Chelsea. This must have (at one time) been dazzlingly exciting for white people towncar slumming below Midtown. The first thing you interact with at a Kurimanzutto afterparty is security guards. This reminds guests they are being watched/ their is a power hierarchy at play/ there are valuable things to protect/ rich people can be comfortable here/ and to never forget Mexico, the brand, is edgy. It is all a ruse. People act like branding is uncouth in art and we pretend to reject it for its lowness. Its too accessible. Normal people understand it intimately. We do, however, want free alcohol sponsoring for our shows, just not for it to be declared as such. Go to SOMA and see the Alacran advertisement at the bar. You will quickly realize that it will never be good for your cultural capital to follow this model. Plus, water is timeless. In a narcogovernment, sobriety is king.
We want to profit off of our alliances, we just dont want it to appear as though that is the primary intention of the alliance. It probably is. Lets be real about it.
What is a completed gesture. What is a finished show. Nature has some examples to follow on the subject. Finality is not for us to truly understand. We love to present our ideas as final, it is part of our "pitch" to close our eyes tight and pretend that we are masters and commanders of our universe. Meanwhile at night we are crying by ourselves scared. No, every exhibition is an experiment. It is a test. It is a study. There is no real permanence in any of our declarations. If someone purchases it, it is then finalized, but only in a loose out of our hands way. We are not making computer chips; objects meant to perform a specific function. Our relationship to art flexes and changes as we flex and change. Nothing is finite.
Everywhere where 70 year old plus people are purchasing art, galleries will be pushing a modernist agenda. It pays for their weird Basel-acquired taste in expensive white dessert wines. These are people who merely cannot be expected to write emails. It pisses off middle aged people when I make ageist declarations. My mom for example. These are also the people who congregate on the controlling boards of every major institution in the world. Are they just trolling us from the top down? We thought art was progressive but thats all smoke and mirrors. Why should we expect them to understand transgressive contemporary art concepts. Let them have their circles, squares, and rectangles. Right angles. Geometry they learned in solid public university programs before the education system fell to absolute shit. Boring ideas foddered during the Industrial Revolution. Ideas like cloud narrative do not correspond to their reality. Dumb yourself down to the vocabulary range of USA Today and hope the buyer is an older woman to flirt with. Her husband will be impressed with your virility and cut the check.
Dont dictate the market, let the market dictate you.
Dont dictate the market, let the market dictate you.
I say yes to almost every project Im invited to because making art doesnt stress me out whatsoever, Im confident about my trajectory, I like to experiment, I dont believe that being anal about control benefits anything, I am aware of the importance of continually building an audience, and lastly, I am not a fucking brat.

Born fat. In Illinois In Indiana and having guns. Store bought potato salad, bad, firework stands, Black Friday was invented for you, Target track suits, camouflaged accessories, burned out white ghettos black ghettos dilapidated liquor stores in the barren center of unpopulated grass fields. A ghost of a place that once was on the train whooshing by deep america deep poverty deep violence racial rifts cockroach civilizations. You think of slavery. You think of slave shacks. You think of meth shacks. You are right to think of these things. The one guy playing poker has a blond mullet and should be wearing a cut off sleeved fire engine red NASCAR shirt with moth holes in it. Place him in the bleachers of The Brickyard 400. One woman paces, morbidly obese like the rest, no teeth, meth-mouthed, split ended straw hairs hanging, wearing pajamas and house shoes to a funeral wake. A weird witchy couple across the Costco outdoor plastic table talk about drinking alcohol on the weekends in broken English and argue back and forth with each other in indiscernible Eastern European. Shit is heavy. Its the America Im ashamed of, the America I reject, the America I come from and suppress. The America I laugh about when I think of because it cant possibly be real. It is locked in the basement of me. I try to tell Mexican business men about this place and it breaks with their ideas. The South Side. I remember seeing the projects across from Old Comiskey in a brown station wagon driving the brown highway past the brown expanse. Everything is the color of mud brick. Cars, coal, salt, all brown. Brick windows with giant ashen scars from explosions, insurance scams, lives lost. A place where political theory comes to die. You can tell a North Sider by their loafers. Dont tell them your future wife is Mexican. I dont want my girlfriend to see this but Ive avoided it for long enough and shes giving me strength so its necessary that she be here. We are talking about single wide and double wide trailers. We are talking about construction jobs, roofing. We are talking about receiving cheques from the federal government. What if the bank hadnt have gone bust, if Ford and GM hadnt broken, if they hadnt had to have sold their muscle cars. I hold hands and say grace and eat my Lay's potato chips. The furthest from grace that Ive been. A skinny man with an old Polish face wears a black turtle neck and a heavily chained Greek Orthodox (I imagine) cross. Im sure they think Im "a queer or something." I stare at the baby for 2 hours and small talk. I lay down in the brown shag carpet and pet a greying dog. Even as I am writing this I feel bad. About not being able to understand. About not wanting to. There is a guy at the train station standing in the brown expanse nodding out on heroin. It is cold. It gets colder. I just wanted to buy some fucking fireworks and wake up in my extremely nice hotel in the West Loop and have an Assistant Account Manager with one side of her head shaved charge my breakfast croissant to the room.

Unthinking ideas
I slayed a mosquito nine feet up the wall staining rust red on the shit interior of my hovel. Its not nice to feel desperation. Its heavy. The soup of it gets stuck in your beard. Its probably not nice *not* to feel desperation either. You probably feel light enough to float away. Did you ever see pictures of mirreyes playing beer pong on yachts with champagne? Pos me muero. One room is covered with coffee grounds, regurgitating up from the failed plumbing. The other room is covered white gesso footprints. The ceiling collapsed overnight. Plants with broken pots and rims. Nail holes in the wall. A pedestal that once had a purpose laying on its side painted with rings from spilled cups and grey fingerprints. A tangle of cheap extension cords. Cumbia permutes through the concrete.

A Netflix calibre Disney movie about high school geek turns cool turns existential found myself. I dont think much cool fusion happens in that context. We are too young. A constant dark blue cool city night white noise. A small fan rattling, greased, dust-labored. I am changing my mind about alot of things. There is no art market. There is no art world. I am the only one responsible for my success or failure. Work trumps all. I will not die if I dont paint every day or show every month. I am not losing time or progress. I am always finding ways to build. My competitors will not gain on me. I am my only competitor. I will learn about longevity and patience and waiting. I will watch and obsess, going over ideas and paintings in my head endlessly. Tracing them out. Thinking about colors. I wonder if you can master an action by thinking about doing it for 10,000 hours. Or will you only master thinking about the action, not the action itself. I found out today that my toe was broken. We sleep on a king size bed with two plugged in laptops and two out of battery cellulars.

Touching people doesnt have to be about flirting it can be about letting them know that you are confident and not intimidated by them. And to not be intimidated by you.
Ideas are viruses.
Since Huffington Post has turned click bait into a legitimate genre, all the inflexible dinosauric institutions, this one for example, have been infected with a similar ideology, a need to entertain, not inform. A need to garner clickable attention. Fuck deep research, were better off expunging idiotic and thus polarizing viewpoints so that idiots like myself will share the content and thus reach target viewership.
It reminds me of fruit depending on animals to eat it and spread its seeds.
Bourgeois suffrage is being stuck in traffic. This is what you get for not giving a flying fuck about your country. As if your children were dying. As if it were torturous to soak into your European leather seat checking the stock market as your bodyguard drives you to Santa Fe.

My second week here I fucked my wife in Kurimanzutto I came all over a Miguel Calderon installation. I have still never looked at his work. I dont know what Gabriel Orozco makes either. I dont know what any of them make. Fake bad boys. I put a handful of overpriced books under my jacket and left.
I wonder why critics so often take pictures of the shows theyre writing about with their own point and shoot cameras. Is it a control thing? Can we criticize their photos? Do they?
What do art critics think about CAD?
Are they trying to push against the institution of CAD by taking poorly lit, crooked images with their 2009 Canon Elphs?
What a subtle, peculiar, and clever pushback.
Hey!
As an artist you have so so many choices as far roads you want to take and strategies you want to employ. Im looking at your website and tumblr and seeing (really good) photography, and wondering-
Did these people who invited you to the Benetton show look at your website?
Did they just invite you because they need another body?
What is your benefit to cost ratio?
What is THEIRS?
How much will Claudio Scoretti be paid to invite you and 99 other Bulgarian artists?
How much with Octavio Avendaño Trujillo be paid to invite me and 99 other Mexican artists?
Have you ever heard of a Brand Manager (a person who activates new-media guerrilla marketing campaigns for giant corporate marketing firms)?
What does a 10x12cm canvas have to do, if anything, with your work?
Is it really part of the Venice Bienniale, or are they using that as a buzzword to get young artists excited?
Isnt Benetton a MULTINATIONAL Corporation?
Who cant pay artists for their work?
Who cant pay artists to help them increase their cultural capital?
Are you going to take on this show as a “shitshow” to fluff your CV or do you really care about what you, as an artist, could say in that particular format?
How is your work going to distinguish itself from all the other “33 collections from 53 countries”?
Or is that even part of their consideration?
Do you think they are taking advantage of young, hopeful, desperate artists for this project?
Do you think big artists who’ve had giant museum shows and retrospectives would be interested in this project?
Why or why not?
Do you know why they chose that 10x12cm format?
I heard it was because they said the size was “too small for the pieces to be valuable.”
So hundreds and hundreds of artists from around the world sending pieces that are 1. too small to be valuable 2. not the artists preferred medium 3. will be hung with thousands and thousands of other pieces 4. not at the bienniale 5. all organized by a giant corporation that will receive free cultural capital from its new-media branding efforts 6. and not compensate the artists whatsoever
7. strikes me personally as incredibly incredibly manipulative 8. but each artist has her or his own path.
This is the first time Ive used the word RUBRIC though Id like to use it again in the future

poetry snuck in bc art english is just too decadent and wasteful. it was time to pair things down. but the language people are now using, while economical, is equally nonsensical. formulations of simple words that do not mean anything. jargon. why cant we write how we talk? why the smoke and mirrors? is it art's way of swelling with air to intimidate foes? does it need that to maintain an air of prestige?

Eric Fischl making paintings about capitalist exchanges in art fairs (criticizing art fairs) to sell in art fairs as he has been selling in art fairs for enough decades and at high enough prices not to have to ever make another painting again. I love it when people who have had systemic success lazily critique the system. My car alarm goes off. I am not supposed to mind it because Im supposed to like him because my first painting professor showed me a book with images of people boating and drinking beer with dicks out and dogs out. Something to think about. Pedro Velez told me to chill out. I bet he secretly agrees though. Maybe there are bigger fish to fry.
I do sincerely feel like all the art in Bushwick is brown. Its at least all yellow. Is it the lights? The offwhite paintjobs? The repurposed wood? idk but its there
Here comes the trash backlash, or rather, the backlash of trash. yellow lights, crooked, blurs, smudges, spittle stains. in general the most beautiful photos have a finger butting up against the lens of the camera and moving. curled darkened edges. I saw a picture of the coral pink bottom side of a tree frog stuck to a glass sliding door caught in the flash of the light and it hit me. dirty spaces, chaos, warn industrial weave brown carpets, etc, cannot be photoshopped. true filth, uneven lighting, power chords sprawled and bundled and flung smelly clothing, off kilter fluorescent lights falling off halfway up the walls. you get what you get. another waxing and waning in the cycle. this is my idea of the seventies. the new seventies. and i felt like this would be more on trend by now. maybe thatll be rick princes new shtick. if you can afford it, do it. young artists like me who want money to rent studios in 3rd world countries so that they can find who they are cant afford to take shit documentation- we have to hedge our bets, appeal to the masses, use the best lure to bring in the big fish, you get it... and in acknowledging that, the only choice we (I) are then left with is to lick that cheap horrible fucking camera jutting out of your old Motorola smart phones, rub it on our sweater sleeves any dirt mouthed employee under the lunacy of the boss

There are alot of shells flying through the air over on Brian Droitcour's Facebook page. Either way the article is interesting to think about and form an opinion towards.
Is it the job of art to break from overall trend in society (by trend I mean the marked directions in which society is shifting), or reflect it? I think your answer to this will correspond to your opinion on the subject of Post Internet Art.
History would have us to believe that it runs parallel to Art History and therefore Contemporary Art reflects the larger contemporary human paradigm, i.e. Art now reflects humanity now.
I always use this Jurassic Park metaphor: the scientists used African bullfrog DNA to fill in gaps in the dinosaur DNA, thus building a complete and legible chain. Historians frequently use Art like said bullfrog DNA, to fill in the narrative of what happened in periods where traditional historical records such as writing were incomplete.
Today, people commonly photoshop the grease off of their foreheads for their profile pictures, clone stamp pimples away, whiten teeth and eyes, adjust breasts and bellies, etc, thus it seems only logical that artists would pump up the saturation in their artwork install shots, whiten backgrounds, remove extraneous distracting elements from the experience. And they have gone further, essentially making the work with the documentation process in mind, pre-protoshopping. I gathered that Brian finds an unbearable flatness in all this, a soullessness. My question would be- compared to what? The art of yesterday?
Think about Hollywood "action stars" in the 20th century, and how much theyve evolved over the years. Yellow-teethed, au naturel, muscularly undefined actors of the 50's and 60's, gritty, greasy Charles Bronson types in the 70's and 80's, and then look at todays action stars. Even the stubble on their faces looks implanted. Ryan Reynolds, the most blah, ambiguous (pleasant in that non-offensive annoying p.c. liberal way) looking human being imaginable. As if spawned in a lab based on test screening result predictions, pre photoshopped. Porcelain veneers, perfectly diet-coached, strength-conditioned, and liposuctioned abdominals. Is art not supposed to reflect this? Or acknowledge it at the very least?
In a lot of ways the best art is the art that best reflects nowness. If so, it fulfills its fusing with the large narrative of history. I predict I would be very hard sought to find a person who would tell me that all the detriments listed in his article were not also reflective of the overarching grand thrust of culture today.
Also Keith I like some U2 songs from Joshua Tree and I turn them up bc they always play on the radio in Mexico idk y and I acknowledge this is horrible for my cultural capital.

What if the world is an Anzures high rise and a chauffeured car to and fro Santa Fe. Graphite pencil drawings about political hypotheticals??? En serio? I once saw a pitbull shred two dogs and a man. Grind the meat off their bones. What does that sound like? They had to beat him off with a lead pipe. There are bums in the subways with organs falling out of their stomachs suspended in see-through plastic bags. They are finding bodies in the the hills. The pueblos are exploding with color and collapsing rusty muddy poor. The basilica de Guadalupe redesign hired the most visionless incompetent graphic designer of all time. A man with blood trickling down his scar tissue on the subway during rush hour smears red all over the sardined train. Talk to me about the spiritual desolation of Santa Fe in your pencil drawings that look like fluorescent lights and air conditioning sound in a carpeted apartment with a blonde pine entertainment center in a highrise that overlooks the ghetto.
My Christian friend recommended this album in Eugene Oregon it became the backdrop to tackling shoplifters into aisles full of tchotchkes.

Im trying to decide if the babies are actually crying because of the techno, or that theyve adapted to the techno by now, and these two things are happening together by coincidence.

Im going to curate my art booth like noones ever curated anything before! better than my girlfriend curates her sock drawer! better than Blockbuster curates its Blu-Rays! and then youll see that art fairs r indeed truly a pedestal for greatness, and that the market, in all its pestilent glowering disgrace, could never belie such heavenly triumphant glory. Let it be known! People’s attraction to art fairs responds not to a trashy desire to buy shiny name-brand things! but instead surges from a deep primal urgency to see curation in full force; wings ablaze feathers gleaming proudly in the light: hypothetical.
One monkey holding a leaf says to another monkey holding a leaf, "my leaf is okay, but your leaf looks better."
There is nothing that the art world can possible do to muscle in on the power of the chaos of this place.

Im at Everything is Connected, the first show in Neter Proyectos' new space, curated by Danish-run GREEN IS GOLD (Green Is Gold Studio), being nourished by its cool and seductive materiality. Its a suitcase show (that doesn't feel like a suitcase show) which deals with modernism and minimalism and my cliched imagination of the dryness of Scandinavia, but its certainly not pinned down by these things. 3-meter celery green rubber exercise straps that "smell like condoms", powdered and stretched taut over aluminum pegs, last minute painted white plinths, white plastic masking-taped power outlets and construction holes ugly on the walls, sputtering electronic sludge, iron-dyed black pools, alot of breathing room, rivets, "elements huckleberrying," a video of a woman with mouth open gasping like a fish. All the colors are blueish and greenish and a bit bled out, like looking through a lead glass window in the countryside. You are reminded of a Lars Von Trier film, reflective black surfaces, images wheat-pasted onto uneven surfaces, corners peeling off. You imagine seeing this show professionally photographed under fluorescent lights on the splash page of the MOUSSE MAGAZINE website, except that it's here in Mexico, in an expansive concrete school yard, clinging to the edge of traffic and smog. The door closes to Kanye's "Bound 2," a weird projected landscape of merchandise unfolds. A siren passes by, a line of ultramarine blue pigment rubs off on your finger, a large-scale photocopied triplicate book cover blows out into the whiteness of the overspackled wall. Art should take any element it sees fit and construct a world of itself.

Back In Black came on and he air drummed with the metal cigar case. A cheap cigar.

Im starting a tumblr about frayed bootcut jeans and narco boots. N obsessive compulsion.

It dawned on me after reading Scjeldahl (http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/richard-princes-instagrams) that we dont even listen to critics anymore. We are all critics and we use "pro" critics as fodder to justify our own opinions. And enforce our joint, particular slants on social media. Formerly, perhaps, critics saw more things, or read more things, or something. But now, laying in my boxers on the carpet of my girlfriends mothers house in Tlalpan, Mexico City, I can see and read as much as anyone. Their authority is dust in the wind. The internet has created this crazy rupture where you start to realize that the experience of the 20th century is a square peg squeezing in to today's circle. Ive been having all these revelations lately about the flexibility of language and the strength of its wielder being able to control "objectivity" of the audience. (obvi) but how scary and manipulative that is. Did you read this? (http://www.vulture.com/2014/09/richard-prince-instagram-pervert-troll-genius.html) This freaked me the fuck out. The writer's "authority" was totally overruled by his desire to be famous in an art muse context and inside of that subterfuge he is manipulating the readers tremendously. So if they "trust" his authority, they are fucked. The Warholian element of everyone's 15 minutes leaking in to a very academic, insular limb of thinking.

Im stuck in a house in the deep south of Mexico City. I know that any minute im going to be invited to eat a 4 course meal and then fall asleep, too full and too much blood in my stomach to be concerned with what I should be anxious over. A tiger pacing back and forth in a cage. A chimpanzee long crazy at the zoo. its not heavy it just feels like white noise. theres no one to look up to anymore. I am listening to the wah wah pedal in slowmotion. I looked at pictures of Japanese gardens in the springtime and put them on my blog. I dont think music is escapism I just think its better than anything else. Im actually tired of everything that everyone is doing. Not knowing how to design webpages is worse than not speaking french in Paris. Something needs to be more and there must not be any compromises. it should be full of blood and guts and errors like Bukowski’s 20+ pages after whiskey bottles. Editing is so fucking boring and everything has been edited since forever I wonder who edited the bible. I would like the experience of opening up my webpage to be the same as the experience of walking into my show. I told Jaakko that there is no one to look up to anymore and then I actually felt like saying Van Halen but I didnt.
Its really good. It doesnt matter if its right or wrong. Theres no such thing. I just read Jerry Saltz's writing on Richard Prince's new work and this is what I wrote after. It applies to your writing too. And mine: Language doesnt mean anything. Its flexible. It can be molded to fit any purpose. Its really just a matter of aesthetics. Here is an example.
no he fuckin loved it. it was so whatever. amorphous. he just wants to be famous. he even says it.
he has no authority on anything anymore. maybe noone does. I dont want to think about these kind of people anymore. I want to eliminate them from my existence. Im gonna rent a marble factory in the deep San Fernando valley and not even tell anyone I live in the same country as them.

I was in a car in traffic on Sunset that smelled like lemon concentrate and I remembered sixteen running from the police down an ivy ravine at a kegger in the hills with my fifteen year old girlfriend cry screaming at me on my cellphone. I got a tattoo on the back of my leg today and it hurt like fucking shit. My face was sweating against the concrete sweating wrapped in the muscle of my arm jaw clenched sweating. Trash bags and styrofoam wrapping paper on the side of the road in the traffic jam listening to Long Beach jazz my girlfriend gyrates her hips at me subtly so the taxi driver doesnt notice. In 2014 Mac The Knife sounds like a Prius fogged down with industrial lemon cleaner.

Be Mexican but dont be too Mexican. An accent on your name will help or accentuate r's when you say words like rrrealism. Do not be too Mexican. Light skin will probably preserve their comfortable space as they look tp expand their markets. Maybe invite them to the beach and show them that you tan easily. Mix some good guacamole in front of them or explain that the corn in your city's tortillas is better. But be courteous. Dont speak your native tongue inside of their context. Act Mexican, tell stories about your abuela, but make sure to smoke 20 feet from the restaurant entrance. Dichos always work. & that one time you went to Oaxaca as a teenager.

isnt art talk constructed to cloak the very truth which we use language to get to the bottom of? thats kind of funny.
I think that there are just too many people alive
That is a good enough explanation for why everythings the same. Even the very different things are the same. I am nearly the furthest away person from me.
Both my girlfriend's and my stepmom's card readings came true. My cards were read three times and they were all equally about power and death some fucked up omnipresent element of my future that I pretend Ive forgottenId like not to die young
I do want to see what happens
Also, absolutely one of the most fun things about art is finding and communicating what you dont like about it. This person shares said enjoyment. I dont care if I agree or not with the individual reviews. I have no glimmer in my eye about making that decision. I like listening to smart people articulate what art makes them think about and why.
That person probably makes really smart art thats about being really smart.
Which is not very exciting to me
Id rather look at a drawn out version of a complex math equation
Probably making painting about painting is not a good idea either
Tho its a good way to start understanding what you like dont like about painting
Just doesnt have anything for the viewer to interact with
I do think that this is what criticism looks like now
A one sentence facebook update that evolves into a community conversationA drunk Canadian contrarian critiquing criticism that uses the same language that they are using is everything shit and is everything funny
Its easy for me not to engage but I still like to bc I want to actually read what I think in front of me or be forced to type it
It gives our life a backbone to make art, it occupies our brain, we channel or confusion and fascination through it,
i dont care if this has been written about in depth, i didnt read the book and im not interested.
Anyways: beauty sleep

An Australian friend is scared to come to Mexico City, he hears some ambiguous thing might happen to him, he has some abstract idea of the violence that might bestow itself to him in this particular context that he or she or it cannot define. There is no PR system pushing an image of safety to the foreign mass. Meanwhile, at Bullets and Burgers, a shooting range outside of Las Vegas (of all abject places), a 9 year old girl fills a 39 year old Army veteran's dome full of lead with an Uzi. Life forces irony on us.
The clouds are yellow. The clay-yellow of the eyes of a dogfish. Or is that blue? Or their bellies? The blue grey clay yellow skirt in between the objects in every Morandi painting. I saw a Dogfish disected when I was younger than ten in front of the old OMSI in the west hills in Portland. The sky pissed on the patio for three minutes and now my bedroom is full of the polluted chalk atomized through the french doors. It keeps dribbling as I formulate sentences and you are given the impression the pace is going to pick up any second.
We all end in soil. Making art is curating the world into poetic phrases you believe in or phrases that sound like a sound you believe in a sound u wanna listen to. And why not. Fat juicy giant summer hamburger softball mothed ideas the ones looming longblueshadowed hanging in the air of the last decade. A person works six years for a six minute feeling. Go against yesterdays word it was just a word and it was yesterday it wasnt today it surr wasnt tomorrow. Functionally broke Los Angeles hangout awhile because your friend convinced you itd be fun. Certain impermanence. See what happens. It was like drawing you would have thought. It was like an insane risk. But not really. Artists are gamblers and they want to live in a way that inspires a script or to be dashed on the rocks. But we are also just boring underwear wearing monkey humans with Moms and we all end up as soil. Did your soil write good poetry? Did your soil hum prodigious in the daylight?
I couldnt sleep I laid in bed thinking about art trying to put my finger on it and explain it to myself and everything evaded me like a herd of goats.

Just realized im not antisocial enough to use Twitter. Twitter is the sitting on a boat fishing by yourself all day platform. Before the internet proper the internet was a backpack full of books. in the future the word internet will replace words like "knowledge." Maybe even words like "art" and "music" too.
There is a dog out the window that wants to kill me.
Its a scary shiny black blur of a dog like that japanese photographer. It bites my feet endlessly and I am listening to sounds.
Brown hair curled past my eye. A laptop half shut balanced on a forearm opening the shower door and turn it on all the way hot with sad eyes and moth holes.
Some days are down days. Private days. Days where you talk quietly.
The world beat the fight out of me.
Some days are days that you appreciate minimalism and breaths between things.
We complain but DJs have it harder than us.
It sounded like the neighbors were having weird sex but it was just dogs making noise and now it sounds like cops.
I just grabbed a handful of ants in the darkness.
Fashion decisions made by construction workers.
Lemon yellow. Graffiti on the ceiling. Red tits and penetration.
Deer trails. Garbage bags emptied and detritus piles.
A student rolls down the bulletproof black window of an Escalade and waves to my girlfriend and we realize that there is nothing to know or learn and that life is sewn together with a thread of beautiful forgettable gestures.
The only thing that art changes is art. A carte blanche for sob stories and injected narratives that have nothing to do with the formal reading of the work.
Let people think for themselves. Its hard to push collectors out of their extremely priveledged nest, help them fly. A band called los bichos de monte alban.
Fill the space with flowers fill the space with plastic fill the space with pastel azteca and engine lubrication fill the space with clothes and dirty dishes and ants fill the space with cheap street candy and mushroom truffles fill the space with trumpets trombones tubas cocaine lizards tropical fish fill the space with embezzled money and cleaning detergent and crashed motocycles fill the space fill the space with lime green paint and delicados and dirty yellow fill the space with water buckets fill the space with black thumb prints fill the space with loud fucking noise and used mattresses and vinyl and call it what I learned.
Look at that light come through the trees
Thats like european light!
A trans critique of oxygen
Sonic Youth Hey Joni Reggaeton airplane takeoffs and gunclaps and horns
The Top Gun theme song Blasting through the darkest orifice of the neighborhood taco shop
Hold your phone and Whatsapp it to my friend from New York
An art studio inside a hyperbaric chamber inside a shipping crate to reverse the effects
Middle distance runners
The way people live
Beauty in chaos
Mexican Winnie from The Wonder Years walking down Orizaba
What happens if instead of taking away we keep adding and adding elements
Does it topple
Does it reach terminal velocity
That house was an Anselm Kiefer sculpture
That house was an Iguana Tank
In Egypt
And they read the most boring fucking poems of my life
I refused indignant
To allow my life to be as flat and brackish as a well hemmed Connecticut
Cinder block valleys
That song that Kanye sampled on Radio Ibero
Wutup with all the ants
Wutup with Ideas
Exponential Echo
The Autotune glistened glistening beadworked gold gilded gold leafed sunset burnoff crochetted sky woven ocean
A rounded room with bursting yellow and violet abstract lily pads
A full space
Handsome and beautiful lounging draped in monochrome Rick Owens consuming opiates
A matte black 7 inch long line spray painted over a transparent magazine wrapper bunched on the worn industrial grey enameled concrete floor
U must be my lucky star
A rooftop garden tramped with shit
A feril bird hound
A whore on Calzada de Tlalpan fishes open the passenger door of a Mercury Mountaineer and dives in.
I cant believe u pretend to relax in nothingness when u r really relaxing in everythingness.

is poetry the new abstract expressionism?
I have a lot of questions. I woke up on a mattress on the floor of the tv room of my stepmoms house in tlalpan with cats and dogs making noises through the open window. I wondered if my Portland Japanese Garden hat crinkled on the floor counts as a sculpture. I read some article about Kasper Sonne blowing up and I didnt believe it and then I saved one of the pictures of his show in a folder on my desktop titled PAINTERS WHO PUT DISTRACTING OBJECTS and I read some of Alex Bienstock’s facebook posts about art being bullshit. I will never forget the cocaine dealer in the street putting his baby son down just long enough to press the baggies into our fingers. I don't want artforum to do the review I want pitchfork to do the review.
The projected video at the gallery is good to meditate to and stand in front of its light and check the sharpness of your jawline in the shadow on the wall. You look hot today. The video - whatever - itll sell.
I woke up and thought in a silent sunpatch. The feeling when ur in a palatial uptown church on dusty weekday afternoon and you watch slow fragments float through streams of pure light. The wind blows your hair in a way you dont like. Trying to codify thoughts about art and life and what the fuck I am doing and why I impose so much haste on myself. Conflation of trend and ability. I refuse this. I refuse alot of things. Sometimes I regret refusing things. A controlled vacuum that buffers us from ambient changes while we string ideas together. Our lives have so many breaks and interruptions and pauses that everything we think is effected and everything we make is effected. To this day I dont understand the application of effect vs. affect. I read their respective definitions on dictionary.com every time I use them and still. We make sculptures and paintings or photoshop something in bursts of five minutes and then pause to smoke a camel and check our motorolas. We had headphones on to disappear into the work but the impartiality of the world was more in our face than ever and our rhythm was broken by beeps and notices we dont know what the overall impact of this will be but we know that older people do not appreciate it or understand it so we clam off to them and everything they do and think and say to us and dig deeper into our transparency and convince ourselves of something that we dont know.
I want art to create a place a place full of ideas and non ideas a place full of things and non things and sounds and silences I want art to create a place and I want to go inside that place and think about art and think about non art and not think paintings are art sculptures are art ideas are art fashion is art music is art those thrown away objects you scuffle past on the street are art every picture you take with your cracked phone is art that feeling you get when you see something perfect and cant photograph it is art art is art art is not art too riding your bicycle in the evening is art writing about art is art when you wake up its art.
I moved to Mexico to have space to breath and develop and enjoy life at the pace I wanted to. It feels more and more inevitable that the only way to get to the next level as an artist is to close off more.
I am making alot of changes to my practice. Or intending to. Making mockups. Changing the way I use language and hopefully the way I present myself. I am begging for honesty for and from myself. To be exposed. Not in the sense of limelight and transparency but in the way of determining and revealing frailty. I think there is something very valuable in that. Something beautiful. A rigorous effort. Something I want to be a part of.
I wonder if my brain is sharper when my internet connection is better.
Yesterday I was the subject of a photoshoot and I looked sweaty and masculine and handsome and then I realized who the fuck cares.
We are all equally articulate so why prefer one mind over the other? Some things sing more than others. I love Monet but he only had one note. It was a perfect note. It was a William Basinsky note. I want to make multiple notes. Kippenberger was only concerned with multiple notes. A symphony. An album. A good new album, with outsourced specialized production. Richter made many notes. Well, he had enough notes for me to get behind him. His best work wasnt even a painting! I love Frankenthaler but she only had one note. Jenny Saville fell off because she only had one note and it flattened and went off key over time and Cecily Brown might have two notes or really one and a half but they are so fucking good and so full and so full of flesh and meat. I am listening to Shabazz Palaces right now which is like as ill as Kanyes Yesus but less pop and more periphery... and that reminds me how many notes and textures Yesus has and that I want to be a painter who can make notes like that.
Of course my subject matter is myself.

I AM NOT A CONCEPTUAL ARTIST; BOTH FACT AND LOOPHOLE WHICH HELP SHED THE NECESSARY EXPLANATION AS TO THE REASON OR MEANING FOR GESTURES. I AM GLAD THAT I AM NOT A CONCEPTUAL ARTIST.

Ive
had a long day its past midnight and I have bags under my eyes and Im
slouching in my chair with my belly out. I hope some people like my
work. I do. But I also hope some people dont like my work. If
everybody liked my work I wouldnt have anything to push against and I
wouldn't have anything to learn from. Right now Im listening to
Niggas
On The Moon
by Death Grips & Björk! on repeat. I guess what I'm looking for
in art is a feeling. It is hard to define but somehow supports me and
breaks me at the same time. I think ideas are cool and all power to
artists who hang onto ideas and push ideas through art, specific,
concrete, perfect ideas, well placed, written into a sentence, but my
brain doesn't have that capacity. In my painting work, which
is the baseline by which I understand art and probably by this point
the world,
I am looking for sound. Actually my writing is my baseline. Hazes,
waves, clouds, abstract forms. The images you see when you close your
eyes that melt and change that are never concrete that are beautiful
and confusing and you could never recreate the images you hold onto
when youre driving past fields and trees the images your brain locks
in on. Some paintings are loud and grating, like going to a concert
and standing next to the speaker and then your ear is ringing for two
days. Some paintings are quiet, composed, solid, checked out. Some
paintings are airy like Bach, maybe so airy that theyre incomplete.
Youll finish them later. Some are perfectly complex and all the parts
working together like a german motor like jungle ants. Lately Lately
Ive been thinking more and more about the curation of albums vs. the
curation of mixtapes. I liked the way Fuck Buttons curated Tarot
Sport. I
like the way Kanye curated Yeezus.
I
am really bashful about mentioning Kanye in an interview, hes too
“now” and “successful” for me to be championing. Youre always
finding new textures and relationships btwn the songs. In the end I
don't care if the work is “good” or “bad” or “hot” or
“not,” if the overarching sound quality of the works playing in
conjunction is interesting--the gesture passes. Does a viewer really
want to go to a show and see twelve iterations of the same idea
carefully rolled out like big obvious dumb stepping stone? I don't
know. Does a viewer want to see 100 individual pieces working apart
from eachother against eachother coalescing into a grandiose
mindfuck? I don't know. Does the viewer want to take a stance? I dont
know. But then again, all this weird business ethic shit comes into
play and things get complicated. Fashion! I mean-- How do you look in
the pics of your show? I keep thinking about how bored I think people
are with paintings (as a whole, in general), but how excited I am by
them, and this is very confusing (also that the people who are bored
by paintings a lot of times just really want to be making paintings).
How amazingly dramatic are fashion shows? The orchestration. The
content. The buzz. The interaction between gesture and spectator. You
can feel the sweat put into it. I wish art would be more like
fashion. I wish art could be more like music. When a concert is over
and youre outside sitting on the curb asking yourself “what the
fuck just happened?” in the still night just glowing. Thats how I
want art to feel. Not all the time, but a few times. Its a dream. Do
you think painting just has to be meek and quiet and somehow
submissive and not that exciting or only secretly exciting for
people, quietly, privately, their private kink that they are nervous
to share? I cannot think in concrete terms anymore, I think and write
like Im making a piece. Im always making a piece. Im addicted to
making pieces. This interview will be finished when I stop writing.
When it feels like a singular gesture and when the words look
acceptable on the page. How do you know when a piece is completed?
You just do. Its like the only thing you know. I want my work to be
simple. And eloquent. And accessible. And masterfully naive. I want
my life to be that way, my writing, my fashion, my smile, everything.
It would be weird to ask for and hope for anything else. For me a
giant cloud of information spouted out is more interesting than a
perfectly tailored seam and a perfectly produced 12 track studio
album, yes you have to wade through a lot of shit and chaos, but you
might also find something unexpected. Someone once tweeted to me that
the world was too chaotic and thats why their art is so orderly. I
cant buy that. The street is so much more beautiful than art. A
flower is obviously so much more beautiful than art. Vines overtaking
stone houses. One time I answered a bunch of interview questions and
someone wrote in the comments that I was trying too hard. I have
smudged green paint under my eye and I took a shower but I couldn't
wash it off all the way and It looks like eyeliner. It strikes me
that of course art is really a self portrait. My new series of
paintings is based on the clothes I wear. Its simple.
I
WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT PAINTERS PUTTING INSIGNIFICANT SCULPTURES IN
THEIR PAINTING SHOWS BC THEY ARE UNCONFIDENT ABOUT THE SIMPLE HANGING
SILENCE OF THEIR PAINTINGS. MY FEED IS FULL OF IT. I AM GUILTY OF
THIS. MOST OF US ARE. THE FIRST STEP TO RECOVERY IS ADMISSION.

My friend Marcos send me a bad photo of a piece of art that said IN THE FUTURE PAINTING WILL BE A LOWER CLASS PHENOMENON
Isnt it already? Isnt that why its being rejected by the young bourgeois? Most of the artists who wear hats also make paintings, maybe Ill make a tumblr about it, I wonder what the demographic breakdown really is, its a blemish on the art world's sense of entitlement. We love to talk about race because theres an inherent class discussion happening, and, NO, we dont love to talk about race. At all.
Right now the young art world is fractured into two essential categories: Artists who could afford computers as children. Artists who couldnt.
For all the freedoms that you thought would define the art landscape, it is such a racist, chauvinist, hating, and particularly cowardice place.

ARTISTS ARE ACTORS AND CURATORS ARE DIRETORS AND ARTISTS ARE POP STARS AND CURATORS ARE PRODUCERS AND COLLECTORS ARE EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS JAJA AND GALLERISTS ARE PROMOTERS AND ARTISTS ARE ATHLETES AND THE YOUNGER THE BETTER AND THEY BURN OUT FAST N HARD AND THEY ARE A TINY MECHANISM THAT GENERATES A FAT GLIB LIFESTYLE FOR SOME RICH MAN AND I JUST WANT MY KIDS TO GO TO A NICE SCHOOL AND SEE EUROPE BEFORE THEY ARE 28 AND BE SPOILED AND GET AN OLD CAR FOR THEIR 16TH BIRTHDAY NOT A BMW OR ANYTHING BUT STILL AMERICAN DREAM TYPE SHIT I AM ON A SLOW MOVING TRAIN IN THE FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE WE ARE ROLLING BY THIN DECIDUOUS FORESTS AND I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT WAR AND MEN RUNNING THROUGH THE TREES
I DONT CARE ABOUT THE CONTENT I DO NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT THE CONTENT EVERYTHING FLATTENS OUT TO ME
ON THE SCREEN IM JUST LOOKING AT COLORS AND SHAPES AND SPATIAL
RELATIONSHIPS I DIDNT GROW UP READING BARTHES I GREW UP PLAYING
TETRIS ON A GAMEBOY
EVERY PHOTOGRAPHABLE INTERNET PROPAGATED
FINALLY PIXELATED SCREEN CONSUMED ART GESTURE ENDS UP FLATTENING OUT
THE MEDIUMS AT PLAY AS ITS BEING TRANSMITTED AND INSTEAD OF
DELIVERING ITS INTENDED IRL SPATIAL-INTELLECTUAL PRINCIPLES, ONLY REALLY ENDS UP DEALING WITH TRADITIONAL ELEMENTS OF 2D VISUAL ORGANIZATION
THAT WE SEE HISTORICALLY ESTABLISHED AN CONTEMPORARILY MAINTAINED BY
PAINTING BUT SOMEHOW PAINTING IS OUT OF VOGUE BUT SOMEHOW WHAT YOU
ARE MAKING ENDS UP CLOSER TO A PAINTING THAN WHAT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS
AS YOU WALKED AROUND IT IN 3D REALSPACE AND MAYBE IF YOU WERE TO QUIT
BULLSHITTING YOU WOULD HAVE JUST MADE A PAINTING BUT YOUVE
FOUND A WAY TO BE CYNICAL ENOUGH TO REALIZE THE PANCAKING FATE OF
YOUR RISQUE ART GESTURE THUS PROTECTING YOUR EGO FROM MAKING
PAINTINGS MEANWHILE AT THE SAME TIME BEING FULLY AWARE THAT PEOPLE
DEAL WITH YOUR WORK AS DOCUMENTED AND DISSEMINATED LIKE THEY DO A
PAINTING THAT PEOPLE DEAL WITH ALL INTERNET ART FLATTENED OUT AND
REMOVED FROM ITS ICONIC HISTORICITY, TIME, AND DIMENSIONAL SPACE,
AND ONLY DEAL WITH ELEMENTS OF DESIGN LIKE PEOPLE DEAL WITH
PAINTINGS AND THEREFORE YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY MAKING PAINTINGS THAT ARE
MASQUERADING AS NOT PAINTINGS AND THUS SOMEHOW YOUR MARKET
POTENTIAL AND EGO ARE BOTH
PRESERVED AND MUTUALLY DEPENDANT AND YOU CAN FEEL COOL ABOUT YOURSELF
BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO MAKE PAINTINGS RIGHT NOW HAVE NOT CLAIMED THAT
STAKE. BUT REMEMBER THAT POST NET ART SUGGESTS THAT THERE IS NO
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IRL AND URL AND POST NET SHOULD NEVER TRY TO ASSERT
THAT TESTIMONY, INSTEAD IT SHOULD ASSERT THE SHIFTING GROWING DISTINCTION OF A
REAL WORLD INFORMED BY URL INSTEAD OF THE FORMER INVERSE DIGITAL
WORLD INFORMED BY THE REAL PHYSICAL WORLD. OUR EXPERIENCE IN NATURE
IS NOW INFORMED AND IMBUED BY OUR EXPERIENCE ONLINE, AND INCREASINGLY
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. AND SAY WHAT YOU WILL. AND IT IS LOOPING AND LOOPING. IF YOU APPROACH
EMERGING ART PRACTICES THROUGH THIS LENSE, IT WILL TURN OUT THAT MOST
ARTISTS WHOSE DISCOURSE AND RESEARCH AND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS ARE
ROOTED ONLINE ARE POST NET ARTISTS, NOT JUST KIDS WHO MAKE NIHILISTIC
GIFS AND JPEGS, BUT THAT A BASKETWEAVER IN OAXACA WITH AN INTERNET
CONNECTION COULD POTENTIALLY BE VIEWING THEIR PRACTICE THROUGH THESE
GOGGLES AS WELL, AND THAT, TO ME, IS THE MOST INTERESTING AFFECT OR
OUTCOME OF THESE POST NET DISCUSSIONS, AND LOCALLY HOW THESE GROWING
THEORIES EFFECT THE PRACTICE OF QUOTE UNQUOTE ANALOG ARTISTS SUCH AS
PAINTERS

IDEAS THAT I HAD IN OAXACA STRESSED OUT NERVOUS THINKING ABOUT FRANCE THINKING ABOUT BEING A LITTLE SHIFTY THINKING ABOUT MAKING WORK DERIVATIVE OF RANDOM IMAGES FROM RANDOM ARTICLES SAVED ON THE DESKTOP AND OF OBJECTS CLOSE TO ME MAYBE NOT EXPLAINING TOO MUCH MAYBE NOT PRESENTING TOO MUCH INFORMATION MAYBE LEARNING SOME HUMILITY

I WAS FACEBOOK FRIENDS WITH TERRANCE KOH IN A FORMATIVE TIME PERIOD I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT DUDE DOES NOW HOPEFULLY 2 RICH 2 GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ART
STOP READING NOW AND INSTAGRAM A PIC OF UR BABY
IM A CHRISTIAN PLASTIC SURGERY ADDICT
EVERYONE TELLS ME TO FORGET ABOUT THE ART MARKET AND JUST MAKE WORK. WHY THE FUCK WOULD I FORGET ABOUT THE ART MARKET? ITS ALL AROUND ME ITS PART OF BEING AN ARTIST AND ITS PART OF MAKING WORK. IT DESERVES TREMENDOUS CONSIDERATION.
THE ART MARKET AS MUSE?
IS MENTIONING THE ART MARKET BAD FOR MARKETING YOUR ART?
MY STEP MOM TOLD ME SHE THINKS AMERICANS TALK TOO MUCH AND I BECAME SEETHINGLY ANGRY
THIS MIGHT BE THE FIRST TIME IVE USED THE WORD BINARY. IM JUST NOT INTERESTED IN EITHER ITS LINGUISTIC FUNCTION OR BEING THE KIND OF PERSON WHO ID IMAGINE THROWING A WORD LIKE THAT AROUND. THE LAST TIME I USE THE WORD BINARY
IN THE WORLD OF ART 2.0 ALL PAINTERS MUST LEARN TO MAKE INEFFECTIVE LITTLE SCULPTURES TO PUT ON PEDESTALS IN FRONT OF WALLHANGING PAINTINGS OR PERHAPS DIAGONALLY TO THE SIDE SO AS TO GIVE FUTURE PATRONS AN IMAGE OF HOW THE WORK WILL LOOK HANGING IN THE STUDY OR THE FOYER OR FORMAL DINING ROOM. ALSO THIS TRICK MAKES THE WORK LOOK MORE INSTALLATION-Y WHICH GIVES IT HIGHER ODDS OF BEING ACCEPTED AND PROPAGATED BY PROMOTIONAL ART BLOGS. JUST LIKE EVERY GREAT FILM STILL FOLLOWS A 5/8 : 3/8 GOLDEN PROPORTION, EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK YOU WILL SEE PAINTERS GROWING THIS SECONDARY ART LIMB, A SIGN TO GALLERISTS EVERYWHERE THAT "IM READY TO FOLLOW THE NEW CANON-" VERY REASSURING INDEED. IT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY HAPPEN TO ME, BUT BEFORE I SUBMIT I LIKE TO WASTE ENERGY FIGHTING AGAINST THE INEVITABLE.
WE DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT WWF OR WHOLE FOODS OR CATS OR THE INTERNET OR THE UNIVERSE WE CARE ABOUT THEM IRONICALLY I DONT THINK WE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT ANYTHING EARNESTLY I THINK WE ARE SCARED TO CARE ABOUT ANYTHING I THINK WE ARE COPYING PEOPLE WE SAW ON TV ACTING ABOUT CARING ABOUT THINGS I THINK WE ARE JEALOUS OF PEOPLE WHO REALLY CARE ABOUT THINGS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT THEM WE DONT DO THINGS TO DO THINGS WE DO THINGS TO DO THINGS AND DOCUMENT THAT WE DID THINGS TO SHOW THAT WE DID THINGS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO DOCUMENTING THINGS TO SHOW THAT THEY DID THINGS I AM JEALOUS OF PEOPLE WHO JUST DO THINGS.

FACEBOOK HOOKER 2HWT2CR
YOU WILL NOTICE THAT MY WEBSITE CONTAINS AN OVERABUNDANCE OF COUPLED AND UNCOUPLED TRAJECTORIES AND WILL CONTINUE UNFURLING THIS WAY SPROUTING NEW LINES. IT STRIKES ME THAT THE OLDER WE GET THE MORE WE FOCUS ON POLISHING IDEAS AS OPPOSED TO PRODUCING RAW INVESTIGATORY SPRIGS. IN ANTICIPATION OF THE DULLING OF MY CREATIVE ABILITIES, OR THE SHIFTING OF MY PRIORITIES, WHICH WILL UNDOUBTEDLY OCCUR, IM CURRENTLY FOCUSED ON LAYING DOWN BASAL STREETS WHICH WILL BE ASPHALTED AND CONNECTED AT A LATER DATE. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU WILL NOTICE A CONCURRENT PARADIGM OF RAWNESS AND LOUDNESS AND IMMEDIACY CAN BE FOUND THROUGHOUT MY PRACTICE. ALL OF MY WRITING IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD STOCCATOD CAPS LOCKS AGRESSIVELY QUESTIONING MYSELF AND EVERYTHING GENERALLY FAILING OUTMODED RULES OF GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION MY PAINTINGS ARE FAST AND GUTTERAL AND HEAVY HANDED MY SOUND PIECES ARE LOUD AND BLEATING AND POORLY PRODUCED AND FULL OF ERRORS AND PRESERVED OVERLAPPINGS AND MISSTEPS. BEING WRONG IS THE VERY LEAST OF MY WORRIES. EVERYTHING OPERATES WITHIN A SYSTEM OF LAYERS AND WINDOWS AND OVERDENSE MAXIMALISM. WE ARE WADING THROUGH RIVERS OF SHIT. I AM HOPING TO EXPOSE PERSONAL IDEALS OF HONESTY AND ECONOMY WITHIN THIS OVERARCHING STYLIZATION. I HOPE THAT IN THE FUTURE MY PRACTICE WILL COMFORTABLY EXPAND TO NEW MEDIUMS AND THEMES WHILE REMAINING LOOSELY BOLTED TOGETHER BY MY PERSPECTIVAL VISUAL ARTICULATION. ALTHOUGH FASHION, NOWNESS, AND POP NO DOUBT COME IN TO PLAY, IN THE FORE STILL REMAINS A SUBJECT MATTER MUCH LESS INTERESTED IN LOCALIZED POLITICS AND CURRENT EVENTS THAN IT IS IN ESPOUSING MYSELF, MY REALITY, PREFERENCES, OPINIONS, BURDENS, MASTERIES, FLAWS, AND LIMITS. FOR ME, EARNESTLY, ART IS A WAY OF ENGAGING WITH AND TESTING MY CAPACITIES. I WONDER IF I CAN MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.
BRIDGE BUILDING BETWEEN LINES OF WORK IS ONE OF THE MOST ARCHAIC NECESSITIES OF THE ART INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX I KNOW THAT GALLERISTS ALWAYS SEEM TO PREFER CLEARCUT LINEAR TRAJECTORIES BC THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THEIR NONCREATIVE COLLECTORS ARE ABLE TO GRASP THE LARGER UNDERCURRENT RUNNING THROUGH EACH ARTISTS BODY OF WORK (BASED ON WHICH A PREDICTIVE MEASURING OF TRAJECTORY IS WHAT GIVES CURRENT VALUE TO AN ARTISTS WORK THUS MAKING IT EASIER TO SELL AS INVESTMENT) BUT AFTER ARTISTS LIKE THAT AMAZING FUCKER WHOSE NAME I CAN NEVER REMEMBER MARTIN KIPPENBERGER, AMONG MANY MANY MANY OTHERS, ITS OKAY TO MAKE WHATEVER YOU WANT ALL THE TIME. HYPOTHETICALLY AFTER A 50+ YEAR CAREER EVERYTHING YOUVE MADE WILL UNEQUIVOCALLY BE CONNECTED BY YOUR CENTRAL N UNIQUELY PERSONAL SENSIBILITIES. EVEN IF THAT DOES NOT END UP BEING THE CASE, THE OLDER U GET THERE BETTER CHANCE OF KNOWING SOME RICH FRIENDS WHO CAN SUSTAIN U. AND THE NEARER UR BRAND IS TO BEING “FINITE.” BECAUSE OF THE INTERNET + THE WORK OF 20th CENTURY ARTISTS, THE LINEAR BURDEN HAS BEEN VANQUISHED AND WE HAVE INHERITED THE FREEDOM TO MANIFEST WHATEVER IDEA--WHATEVER IDEA WE CAN THINK OF--HOWEVER WE WANT TO MANIFEST IT--WITH NO REAL PERIL OR REPERCUSSIONS, IN FACT, WE ARE OFTEN REWARDED FOR BEING A-LINEAR BY BEING LABELLED “OPAQUE” OR “DENSE” OR “WEIRD” WHICH REALLY MEANS “SMART.” LAUGHABLE IS THE NOTION THAT AS AN ARTIST U HAVE TO INTIMATELY UNDERSTAND ALL THE LAYERS AND SIGNIFIERS EMBUED WITHIN UR GESTURES, IDEAS TAKE TIME TO PROCESS AND UNDERSTAND, BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO MAKE THINGS, MAKE MANY MANY THINGS AND HAVE MANY MANY IDEAS AND FIGURE THEM OUT NOW OR LATER OR LET THEM FIGURE THEMSELVES OUT OR NOT. THEY WILL DISTILL THROUGH YOUR BRAIN OVER THE COURSE OF YOUR TIME ON EARTH AND HOPEFULLY ONE DAY YOULL BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THINGS TO FULL CAPACITY DURING A PRESS OPPORTUNITY THAT WILL RESULT IN INCREASED MARKETABILITY *$$$* THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF BUSINESS MODELS YOU CAN FOLLOW: THE PHD ARTIST, THE ROGUE ARTIST, THE ESSAY-WRITING ARTIST, THE CURATOR/ARTIST/MODEL, THE BUSINESS FIRST ARTIST, THE CYNICAL ANTI CAPITALIST ARTIST, THE GOOD TIMES HARD DRUGS DICK PIX FUCK UR WAY UP PARTY ARTIST, THE OPAQUE AVION MUST BE A GENIUS BECAUSE I DONT GET IT ARTIST, THE SAVANT, THE FEMINIST, THE PROTO NEO FEMINIST, THE MARGINALIZED AND SUCCESSFUL, THE MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, THE NEW PICASSO, THE WAFER THIN DELICATE DONT CRITIQUE ME SUPERFEELER, AND ANY OTHER BS U CAN THINK OF, ALL OF WHICH, AT THE END OF THE DAY, HELP TO DEFINE YOUR MARKET NICHE. THE SOONER U DO THAT THE SOONER COLLECTORS WILL B COMFORTABLE MAKING UR WORK PART OF THEIR THEME CURATED COLLECTIONS. MANY ARTISTS READ BOOKS AND USE THE LANGUAGE OF THOSE BOOKS TO JUSTIFY THEIR DECISIONS TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO ALSO STAND BY THOSE BOOK-DERIVATIVE LANGUAGES TO JUSTIFY DECISIONS. THIS IS A CLEVER WAY TO FIND A LIKE COMMUNITY AND SEEMS TO BE A CURRENTLY AND HISTORICALLY POPULAR *READ: FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL* OPTION SO WHAT THE FUCK EVER ITS ALL FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR?! ALSO ART IS A WAY OF ARTICULATING ABSTRACT CLOUDS OF THOUGHT THAT WE MIGHT NOT VERBALLY UNDERSTAND, AND AT THE END OF ALL THE DOGGEREL ALL DAY ALWAYS, THIS SEEMS LIKE A HEALTHY THING TO ADMIT.

GOD IS POST-OP
INSIDE OF THE TIME COMPRESSED INTERNET REALITY THINGS FEEL FRAGILE AND PRECARIOUS AND DESTINED TO CHAOTIC RUPTURE. FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE I FEEL DURESS. PAINTINGS ARE SLOW. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO OFFSET THE MANIA, PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE, BUT THEY ARE TOO FLACCID AND NEED TO BE PART OF THE MANIA IN ORDER TO SPEAK. MY CONFIDANT TELLS ME "THE INTERNET'S CHASM IS OVERRATED," "YOULL SEE," HE TELLS ME. I TELL HIM I AGREE IM JUST SICKLY DEEP IN ITS MANIA I HOPE EUROPE WILL PRY ME FROM IT.

IS THERE A DISTINCTION BTWN ART AND ART BASED POWER STRUGGLES BETWEEN ART INDUSTRIAL ENTITIES? AND I THINK THAT IS A FUCKING SEXY TOPIC FOR A MAG, BUT WHERES THE ART? ARTFORUM WOULD DO WELL TO B RENAMED ARTPOLITICSFORUM. AS A GALLERY YOU PAY FOR ADVERTISING IN THE MAGAZINE, SO ONLY OLD WORLD BORING CHELSEA EMPTY GHOST DEEP POCKETED PRIVATE TRUST FUNDED ENTITIES NEED APPLY, THE REST OF THE WORLD JUST USES FACEBOOK. THERE R TOO MANY IMPORTANT GESTURES FLOATING AROUND ON BLOGS AND TUMBLRS AND FACEBOOK WALLS THAT WOULD RATHER DIE THAN B PUBLISHED IN ARTFORUM AND R ONE MILLION TIMES MORE BEHOLDEN TO PUSHING ART SO WE ARE LEFT WITH THIS 200 PAGE BONEYARD THE ARTWORLD VOGUE SEPTEMBER ISSUE IS THIS WHAT ART IS? WHAT A JOKE AND I KNOW THERE IS BIG BUSINESS INVOLVED BUT YOU REALLY ACTUALLY DO NOT NEED TO HAVE AN ARTISTS 20 YEAR TRAJECTORY TO PLACE CONTEXTUAL RELEVANCE TO THEIR ART GESTURES AND THE DOT COM BOOM PROVED THAT THE NEW BUSINESS MODEL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRACK RECORDS YOU DO, HOWEVER, NEED A TRAJECTORY TO ASSESS SECONDARY MARKET STANDINGS AND YOU STAUNCH OLD WHITE (ASSUREDLY) GUYS ARE REALLY LOST HERE IN THIS NEW LANDSCAPE SO ITS ART FORUM DOT COM PAID FOR BY CHRISTIES R WUT? ARTFORUM IS A DINOSAUR
I CAN NEVER REMEMBER MARTIN KIPPENBERGERS NAME WHEN I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIM THIS IS ONE OF MY GREATEST SHAMES I HAVE TO GOOGLE SEARCH SOMETHING RANDOM LIKE GERMAN PAINTER WHO DIED IN THE 1990S EGG PAINTING HIRED OTHER PEOPLE TO MAKE HIS WORK AS HIS WORK MOMA RETROSPECTIVE
Im seeing and endless amount of this style of painting lately. Artists that grew up on the smooth transitioning grounds of Dali before they realized hes a verbose idiot and coming over the top with really crude figurative gestures
ITs chill. I have the same problem with it
[Carrol Dunham] as I have with all of Francis Bacons work which is that its too
composed. Too tight, you can tell what little brushes they used and that theyre
super ocd
AND THEY DIDNT GIVE A FLYIN FUKK FRANCIS ALYS N THE CENTRO WITH A GUN NOPE YOSHUA OKON PAID POLICE SWANGIN BATONS NOPE HENNESSEY YOUNGMAN NO LOVE PETRA WHATEVS TAKASHI MURATA NOPE JON RAFMAN NOPE THEODORE DARST NOPE TABOR ROBAK NOPE NOPE THE RYAN TRECARTIN DID IT FOR THEM THO HIS WORK IS CATERED 2 THE HYPER A.D.D. POST INTERNET MIND FUX HAD THEM FEELING SO ANXIOUS N TRIPPED OUT IT REALLY IS PRODIGOUS WORK WEIRD WEIRD WORK AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHO TUPAC IS AND THEYRE ALL SELFIE STARS AND THEY ALL BOUNCE TO TECHNO MAN ITS FASCINATING SO I WANTED TO SHOW THEM THE ARCHITECTURE OF DOOM TALK ABOUT GOOD N EVIL BUTS ITS TOO HEAVY WHAT ART CAN APPEAL TO A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD KICKED OUT OF 10 SCHOOLS AND TALKIN BOUT 2 GURLS 1 CUP? ELECTRONIC MUSIC IS THE ANSWER SIMON COWELL IS A GENIUS WITH THOSE FUCKKBOIS ONE DIRECTION IT SMELLS LIKE ORANGES IN THE SUBWAY WHAT A GIFT N I ASKED THEM IF THEY THINK KIM KKARDASHIAN IS A PERFORMANCE ARTIST N THEY HAD NO ANSWER 4 ME THE END
WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF AN ARTIST? WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A PERFORMANCE ARTIST? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JAY ZS GESTURE AT PACE GALLERY IN NEW YORK THIS YEAR? DO YOU CONSIDER JAMES FRANCO TO BE AN ARTIST? DO YOU CONSIDER JAMES FRANCO TO BE A PERFORMANCE ARTIST? IF YOU DO THINK JAMES FRANCO IS AN ARTIST- WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PIECES YOU MAKE? IS THE FINAL OUTPUT OF YOUR WORK GENERALLY DETERMINED BY YOU AND YOUR PRESENCE WITHIN A CONTROLLED SYSTEM? IS THE FINAL OUTPUT OF YOUR WORK GENERALLY DETERMINED BY DOCUMENTATION SOURCES SUCH AS PAPARAZZI / PRESS? WHEN YOUR PERFORMANCE IS COMPLETED BY PRINT OR VIDEO, IS THAT WHEN THE PIECE IS COMPLETED? OR IS THE ART SELF CONTAINED WITHIN YOUR GESTURE OF 'BEING'? CHRISTIAN JANKOWSKI ALSO INSERTS HIMSELF WITHIN EXTERNAL DOCUMENTATION SYSTEMS- DO U RELATE TO HIS WORK? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE ARTWORK OF CINDY SHERMAN? OR DO YOU RELATE MORE TO CHRISTIAN BALES PERFORMANCE IN AMERICAN PSYCHO IE MASKING ONESELF? DO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU COULD BE AN ARTIST EVEN IF YOU SAY YOU ARENT? DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MARCEL DUCHAMPS "FOUNTAIN" PIECE FROM 1917? IN "FOUNTAIN" DUCHAMP BROUGHT AN OBJECT INTO AN ART CONTEXT, MAKING IT INTO AN ART PIECE. FROM THAT POINT ON- IF WE SAY SOMETHING IS ART, ITS ART. SO ARE YOU ART? ARE YOU AN ART 'OBJECT'? ARE YOU A 'PIECE'? IF I SAY YOU ARE ART, DOESNT THAT MAKE YOU ART? OR DO I HAVE TO BE MORE ACCREDITED IN THESE THINGS? ARE YOU AWARE OF THE MEXICAN CURATOR CUAUHTEMOC MEDINA? HE FOUND HAND STITCHED HANDKERCHIEFS IN LOCAL CABINETS OF THE GERMAN COAL HILLS AND BROUGHT THEM INTO THE CONTEXT OF ART, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERENT MADE FOR THAT PURPOSE. SO DO YOU HAVE TO BE INSIDE A PARTICULAR SPACE TO SHIFT INTO AN ART GESTURE? OR NOW THAT MY GESTURE IS COMPLETE, PARAMOUNT UPON YOU BEING AN ART OBJECT HAVE YOU AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO ONE OVER THE COURSE OF THESE QUESTIONS?

DOES AMALIA ULMAN PRETEND TO BE STUPID IN INTERVIEWS IS THAT HER ARTIST PERSONALITY IS SHE A SECRET PREDATOR FISHING FOR ART WORLD LECHERY, WRAPPING THE LECHERS AROUND HER LITTLE FINGER A MASTER OF UPWARD MOBILITY IS SHE A GREAT PERFORMANCE ARTIST AFTER ALL? I HOPE SHES SECRETLY A GENIUS ON SOME ANDY WARHOL SHIT OR IS SHE THE VISUAL ART VERSION OF MARIE CALLOWAY A BOOKMARK A FILLER THE INTERIM OCCUPANCY OF A VOID IS IT EASIER TO CURATE THE WORK OF AN ARTIST WHO IS A UBIQUITOUS DOLLOP OF EVERYONE ELSES WORK ON THE INTERNET A HUMMING PINK PURPLE FAKE BULLSHIT GIRLY CLOUD PUERILE BLAND WHITE INTERNET TUMBLR NOISE PUT THAT SHIT IN YOUR SHOW AND INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT THE DECISIONS THAT AN ARTIST MADE TALK ABOUT THE LACK THEREOF GET A BABY ADDICTED TO RITALIN AND GIVE THEM A SMART PHONE AS AN ART PIECE IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT NOW.

I HAD TO WIPE MY TONGUE OFF ON MY SHIRT IT WAS THE GROSS CHEMICAL NOTHINGNESS HAVE YOU HAVE HUFFED DUST-OFF?

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THIS EXAMPLE PERTAINS TO THE BIGGER THRUST OF THIS PARAGRAPH. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONVINCED OTHERWISE AND AM OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITY, PLEASE HELP ME WITH AN EXPLANATION SHOULD YOU HAVE ONE. BY PUTTING THESE QUESTIONS INTO A PUBLIC SPACE I AM HOPING TO CREATE A CONVERSATION THAT BRINGS ANSWERS RESOLUTIONS OF DOUBTS AND CLARITY, NOT TO INSULT. THIS IS MY PROCESS FOR LEARNING ABOUT ART

WHAT IS THE REQUIRED VETTING PROCESS B4 A BIG ARTIST RESPONDS TO THE EARNEST INQUIRIES OF A SUPPLE YOUNG MIND IS IT BETTER FOR US TO HIDE BEHIND A HEROIC ACCOLADE-BASED ETHOS THAN EXPOSE OURSELVES AS TWO LEGGED MAMMALS? CAN AN ARTIST REACH A CERTAIN ESTEEM THAT CRITIQUING THEM IS LIKE CRITIQUING A MONUMENT THAT SITS PERMANENTLY FIXED IN TIME? DO YOU STILL GET NERVOUS THAT MAYBE THE MESSAGE WONT COME ACROSS? DO YOU EVER FEEL RUSHED? IN WHAT WAYS HAS 'SUCCESS' BENEFITTED UR PROCESS DOES THE BULB BURN AS BRIGHTLY AS EVER OR DOES IT WANE? CAN HIGH FABRICATION COMPENSATE? HOW HAVE UR GOALS CHANGED HOW HAVE UR NEEDS CHANGED? HOW HAVE UR GOALS CHANGED HOW HAVE UR NEEDS CHANGED? IS IT HARDER OR EASIER THAN EVER TO BE RECKLESS? WHEN U REACH THE STATUS OF HUGE TOP 25 INTERNATIONAL ARTIST, DOES PUSHING UR BRAND BCOME EMBEDDED IN ALL OF YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES? R DO THE ART WORLD MECHANISMS TAKE OVER N YOU JUST PUT CONTENT INTO A DEFINED PRESS SYSTEM WHERE IT IS THEN PROLIFERATED VIA ALLIED SOURCES? DOES AN ARTIST REACH A CERTAIN POINT IN THEIR CAREER WHERE STREET CREDIBILITY NO LONGER JUSTIFIES EXPOSING THEIR HUMANITY? DOES PARANOIA SET IN? DO YOU WONDER WHAT PEOPLE WANT FROM YOU OR WHAT THEIR PLAN TO USE YOU IS? DO YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST IN HELPING YOUNGER ARTISTS ON THEIR PATH? R DOES THAT GO AGAINST UR EXISTENTIALIST VIRTUES? DID YOU HAVE A MENTOR? WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THE GAME WE PLAY IS SO SOLITARY? DOES THAT BENEFIT US IN THE END? A BELIEVER IN THE SINK OR SWIM METHOD?

OVER THE COURSE OF HER OR HIS CAREER AN ARTIST LEARNS A PLETHORA OF TRICKS BY WHICH TO SOLVE AN ART EQUATION. THE FINAL TRICK IS MONEY. THE AGING ARTIST GROWS TIRED OF EXPERIMENTING, WASTING, BEING UNSURE. MONEY ALWAYS HAPHAZARDLY SOLVES THE EQUATION. THE OTHER TOOLS DISSOLVE. I DONT BLAME YOU FOR DOING THIS. I JUST WISH YOU WOULD KEEP SEARCHING. IT WOULD INSPIRE ME TO KEEP SEARCHING

harsh aka ART is bullshit aka You are 60% closer to understanding what the
answer to life is.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME IN HISTORY WHERE U CAN LOG IN TO FACEBOOK AND SAY GUYS IM HAVING AN ART BREAKTHROUGH
be defensive if you have to Andrew, I really do like you here on facebook -and enjoy your fierce idealism and youth -I think you are great! -I'm trying to have a discussion here with you -not put you down: its weird talking to you for me as I always feel like I'm going back in time talking to myself 30 years ago- I only wish I had had someone attempting to temper and lend perspective to my strong opinions at that juncture.

PEOPLE (DONE IN FB PUBLIC) REMIND ME OF PEOPLE I KNOW FROM HIGH SCHOOL PASSIVE
AGGRESSIVE STATUS UPDATING THINGS LIKE YOURE LIES ARE GOING TO CATCH UP WITH
YOU!! WHEN WE ALL KNOW THEYRE TALKING ABOUT THEIR EX. I GOT THROUGH A DECENT
PORTION OF YOUR SOUNDCLOUD PIECE BUT WAS EVENTUALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE LACK OF
NAMES I HEARD. IT SEEMS LIKE YOURE VERY ANGRY AT YOUR OWN PEERS, THE
INSTITUTIONS YOUVE WORKED WITH, THE INSTITUTIONS YOU HAVENT WORKED WITH, YOUR
GOVERNMENT, OTHER PEOPLES GOVERNMENTS, CAPITALISM ITSELF, AMONGST OTHER THINGS.
BUT AN UNWILLINGNESS TO CRITICIZE THOSE AROUND YOU PLACED NEXT TO A VERY OPEN
WILLINGNESS TO CRITICIZE INSTITUTIONS / IDEOLOGIES IN THE SKY WREAKS OF
GRANDSTANDING AND MAY BE SYMPTOMATIC OF THE CAREERISM YOU ALSO CRITICIZE SO
OFTEN. I MEAN IF YOU WANT TO BE OUR GENERATIONS CHARLEMAGNE THE GOD THATS GREAT
- HES A FUNNY, ARTICULATE CRITIC WHO IS ALSO VERY POPULAR - NOT JUST AMONG HIP
HOP ARTISTS. THATS THE DOUBLE EDGED SWORD OF IT- HIS CRITICISM IS TAKEN VERY
SERIOUSLY BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY RISKS SOMETHING WHEN HE SPEAKS OUT NEGATIVELY
AGAINST SOMEONE / SOMETHING
FROM THAT STICK OF WOOD THUS THE SPLINTER. I AM IN A
HORSE WAGON GOING TO CUERNA DOGG. SHOUTOUTS DOC ATL. THIS TOWN IS A MAID
FACTORY BONE MACHINE KISSY KISS. IM WAITING 4 THE NEW I PHONE. THE GURL AT THE
TACO SHOP STARTED CRYING TO US WE WERE SMOTHERING HER WITH OUR NAIVE
PRIVILEGED OPINIONS. BOURGEOISIE TESTICULAR DEFICIENCIES AND LOW HANGINGS. A
COMPLEX OF TERRA COTA WARRIORS BURIED IN TRENCHES IN XIAN. A COMPLEX OF GIANT
DESERT TORTOISES AND ELEPHANT TUSKS PROTAGONISTICALLY FLOATING. MY FRIEND DOESNT BELIEVE IN PRODUCTION BUT ITS THE ONLY
THING I BELIEVE WILL DELIVER ME FROM TEACHING HALF ASSED FALSIFIED ENGLISH
CLASSES TO LITTLE KIDS WHO ARE TOO PURE FOR THE ONSLAUGHT OF COLONIAL
METHODOLOGY. I AM NOT WELL READ ENOUGH TO READ I AM NOT WELL WRITTEN ENOUGH TO WRITE BUT I
AM STUBBORN AS FUCK SO I MAKE ART NOT ENOUGH TO COMPETE AGAINST TUMBLERS BUT OH
WELL. GIYS THERE ARE SO MANY MUTHERFUCKING ARTISTS IN TGE WORLD HOW THE FUCK AM
I GOING TO PUSH OFF AND AWAY. WE HAVE SHOWS WE HAVE ALOT OF SHOWS WE HAVE
INTERVIEWS WE HAVE A LOT OF INTERVIEWS AND IT STILL ALL FEELS LIKE ABSOLUTE
FUCKING BOLLOCKS. I WANT TO MAKE THE LOUDEST DEEPEST CLEAREST NOISE THAT I HAVE
EVER HEARD I JUST STEPPED IN A PUDDLE. I AM WRITING A BOOK SCRAP BY SCRAP I AM
QUILTING LIKE MY GRANDMOTHER LIKE BETSY ROSS. IN GUATEMALA A DYING DOG WAS ON
THE FRONT BURNER. A SILENCE. A SILENCE. A SMALL IDEA TUCKED TIDY IN THE FALLEN
OUT KNOT OF THE BROOM HANDLE IN THE CORNER. A GARGANTUAN IDEA RUSTED OVER PISSED
ON WELDED IMPACTED TO STONE RIPPED OUT OF THE EARTHS SURFACE UNDER THE BRIGHT NIGHT
MOTH WINGS FLUTTERING LEAVING SHADOWS ON THE SCAR. I BOUGHT THE FADED RED HOOD
OF A MAZDA TRUCK. NEWAYZ I MUST MUST MUST PRODUCE. IT IS THE PERFECT FATE FOR A
PSEUDO INTELLECTUAL LIKE ME. I CANT BELIEVE HOW MUCH FUCK THIS. IF THERE WAS A
THEME TO EXPAND ON I WOULD BUT THERES NOT JUST A CLOUD OF DIAPHANE WORTHLESS
STARING AT A FUCKING PIXELATED SCREEN FOR THE ENTIRETY OF A BLUE COLLAR LIFE
IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO PAINT A PICTURE OF HELL WITHOUT THROWING ACID ON IT OR BURNING IT TO RUBBLE. THAT WAS FRANCIS BACONS´S FLAW. HIS ONLY GOOD PAINTINGS WERE HIS DESTROYED PAINTINGS. HOW CAN AN ARTIST HAVE SO MUCH VIOLENCE AND ANGST INSIDE OF HIM AND DETAIL IT PERFECTLY
WITH 1/4 ROUND HOGSHAIR BRUSHES. THERE MUST BE SYNERGY BETWEEN THE IDEA AND THE OBJECT´S PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION. ARTISTS ARE LIVING IN A BROKEN WORLD WORKING IN A BROKEN MARKET. AS SUCH ART MUST BE BROKEN. WE MUST CONSIDER THE CONTEXT OF HUMANITY AND THE CONTEXT OF THE EARTH. ONLY JEFF KOONS CAN GET AWAY WITH PUTTING PERFECT HI-FAB INTO THE MARKET BC HE IS A FUCKING PSYCHO. DONT SEPARATE ART FROM LIFE. IF YOUR LIFE IS HARD YOUR ART SHOULD BE HARD. IF YOUR LIFE IS EASY WELL, YOUR ART WILL PROBABLY BE BORING. IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE TO PAINT A PERFECT PAINTING ON A PERFECTLY STRETCHED CANVAS OF A PERFECT WORLD. IM NOT INTERESTED IN THAT TYPE OF RIDICULOUS FANTASY. IM INTERESTED IN HOW GRITTY AND HOPELESS AND BEAUTIFUL OUR FIGHT TO SURVIVE IS AND I WANT MY PAINTINGS TO REFLECT THAT.
I AM COMPETING AGAINST THE INTERNET BUT THE INTERNET DOESNT KNOW WHAT WIND FEELS LIKE SO THE INTERNET LOSES NO MATTER WHAT. LETS NOT BE SO CONCISE LETS NOT F SO MUCH ABOUT WHOS THOUGHTS THESE ARE OR WHERE THEY COME FROM OR WHY THEY CAME LETS JUST LET THEM COME IN VICTORY LIKE OLD FAITHFUL LIKE CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES LIKE MUSHROOM CLOUDS LIKE PAYCHECKS, RISE OVER RUSH OUT COME CHARGING LIKE PAMPLONA BULLS INUNDATE THE WORLD INUNDATE ANYONE NEARBY OPEN OR CLOSED OR IN THE PERIPHERY OR WAITING IN THE CORNER IN THE WINGS OR IN THE EYE. I TRIED TO BE CONVENTIONAL AND I FAILED DEEPLY I WANTED TO BURST FROM CHAINS I WANTED TO THINK OF SOMETHING IMPECCABLE BRILLIANT JUST ONE THING BY ITSELF BUT WHY NOT ALL THINGS ALL BAD INARTICULATE BADLY PHOTOGRAPHED BAD THINGS AT ONCE? WE ARE WADING THROUGH THE GEL OF HISTORY IT IS RIPPING OUR BOOTS FROM OUR FEET IT IS A WHITEOUT WE ARE HYPERVENTILATING IN THE WHITENESS IN THE WASHOUT. MY BRAIN IS A FLOOD I BET YOURS IS TOO. SO LET US FLOOD. IN WASHINGTON IN A PORTAPOTTY MIRROR DYING IN OREGON. PICASSO WAS AN INESCAPABLE IDEA A HANGING SHADOW REACHING LOOMING SAUNTERING ACROSS THE OCEAN SMOTHERING OVER EVERYTHING. WE HAVE PERSONIFIED THE INTERNET THE INTERNET IS THE NEW PICASSO. I WANT TO BE ASHEN I WANT NOT TO BE STIFLED I WANT TO BE AN ASHEN CARBON FLAME-TONGUED GESTURE DIVING FROM A BLACK ICE ESCALADE DRIVING AROUND CUERNA VACA LISTENING TO SKRILLEX LOUD AS FUCK IN A PROFESSORS CAR NO PINCHE MAMES AN IMAGE OF THE LAST SUPPER IS PRINTED ON MY COFFEE CUP. ARTISTS WILL SOON NO LONGER BE ABLE TO RIDE ON THE PERSONIFIED PICASSO'D WAVE OF THE INTERNET FACE TO FACE IS GOING TO GET REALLY EDGY. THE COLLAPSED REVERBERATIONS WILL BE FELT HARD AND BAREBACK THE MAJORITY OF ARTISTS WILL SLITHER BACK TO MANNING THE FAMILY HELM THEIR FATHERS WILL FINALLY BE PROUD. ART AS IT EXISTS NOW WILL BE STUNNED AND CONCUSS. THE FUTURE PRINCE OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES IS AN ARTIST. HIP HOP CULTURE DIED A SLOW RAGGEDY DEATH ON A TWO DECADE VENTILATOR AND TOOK ART ACROSS THE RIVER STYX WITH IT. A NEW YORK CITY DECOMPOSING NEON YELLOW NIKE FLIP FLOP RIPPED OFF IN THE KERFLUFFLE OF THE METRO WALKING BARE PLAGUED BY CONTEMPORARY TABOOS. RAINSOAKED AND OVERCROWDING ORANGUTANGS SLAMMING GIANT GREY BROWN LEATHERY GAUNTLETS ACROSS PLATEGLASS WALLS PACING FORWARD SOMBER FUNERAL MARCH WE ALL HAVE WAXED CHESTS AND SLEEP OUT OUR LIVES. IN THE FUTURE I WILL NOT HAVE FOUND A WAY TO BE MORE HONEST I WILL HAVE BEEN ABSOLVED AND DILUTED AND BESCOURGED AND WILL BE LIVING UNCOMFORTABLY COMFORTABLY WITH NO RESPECT OR ALLEGIANCE. OIL PLATFORMS WILL BE SCULPTURES. ARTGAME WATERWORLD. POP MUSIC SINGERS. ARTISTS WILL PISS INTO MEDIOCRE BEDPANS IN BONE WHITE ANTECHAMBERS. ARTISTS WILL BE TRAPPED WHEEZING UNDER THE EMBERS OF LODGEPOLE PINE. ARTISTS WILL BE ENEPT AND CULLED LIKE TUNDRA WOLVES FROM HELICOPTER SUBMACHINE GUNS. OVERCOME WITH THE THEME OF THE FUTURE ARTISTS WILL BECOME SCI FI SCRIPT WRITERS AND BASE MUSEOGRAPHICAL THEORY ON A PASSING WHIFF OF STREET QUESADILLAS BUBBLING IN BENT METAL PANS A BIG GAP BTWN THEIR FRONT TEETH SO HOT RITE NAU THEY WILL FALL INTO FIREPLACES LIKE JACKSON POLLOCK THEY WILL OD LIKE DASH SNOW AND ANYTHING IN BETWEEN THEIR HANDLERS WILL TELL THEM WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO SAY THEIR HANDLERS WILL HAVE COLUMBIA MFAS AND A COOPER UNDERGRAD THEIR HANDLERS WILL BE THE NEW REMBRANDTS WORKSHOP THE NEW JEFF KOONS MURAKAMI MARINA ABRAMOVIC LADY GAGA JAY Z STUDIO YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL COSMIC REVELATION LOST ON THE BORING BAD-GRAFFITIED EDGE OF WILLIAMSBURG THIS KANYE SHIT IS ANGRY AND VIOLENT AS FUCK.

THE FUTURE IS GOING TO BE POSITIVE ALL THESE THINGS ARE POSITIVE MUSIC IS POSITIVE GETTING PAINT ON YOUR HANDS IS POSITIVE HAVING A NICE HAIRSTYLE IS POSITIVE SOMETIMES ON A HOT DAY A CLOUD COVERS THE SUN AND THAT IS VERY POSITIVE. UNFOLLOWING PEOPLE IS POSITIVE DOING WHAT YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE DONE IS POSITIVE SAYING WHAT YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE SAID IS POSITIVE NO I DONT WRITE LIKE BUKOWSKI BUT THAT IS POSITIVE TOO. THE BIRDS ARE REALLY REALLY TWEETING RIGHT NOW IT IS SO SO POSITIVE
TIMELAPSES OF A CLOWN WITH HIS HANDS TIED BEHIND HIS BACK SMILING UNDER THE WATER BEATEN DOWN SLOWLY PULLING OXCARTS ACROSS MARS OXIDE MUDPUDDLES SHIFTING AGAINST DEEP BLUE OUTERSPACE CALM WITH HOLES BURNT IN THE MIDDLE. THE WEIGHT DISBURSED DISBURSED SHATTERED. TWENTY MINUTES OF TRIPPING ON CURBS ENGROSSED COLLAPSING SHOOTING LIKE A ROCKET IN SOLACE UNREMORSEFUL & BUMPING INTO INTERNET PICASSO FEVER FOREVER
I WILL READ AND SING THESE WORDS TO MYSELF ELATED. I WILL RAP THEM OVER FORGOTTEN YOUTUBE VIDEOS. I WILL FAIL UGLY BECAUSE I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT SUCCESS REQUIRES. I WILL EMAIL THIS TO YOU N NEVER NEVER THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN AS IF NOTHING EVER EVER HAPPENED AS IF IT WERE AN ELUDED FORGOTTEN PUFF OF WHITE DRUGGED CAPS LOCKED PERSONA WHO CARES ABOUT THE FUTURE LETS BE HONEST I HOPE WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL WHATEVER THAT MEANS. I WANT TO MAKE ALL THE WHATEVER I CAN NOW AND FIGURE OUT THE WHATEVER LATER OR ID RATHER THAT YOU FIGURE WHATEVER OUT YOU ARE MORE QUALIFIED TO FILL OUT EXCEL SHEETS AND WRITE THINGS THAT YOU CAN SUBMIT TO ARTFORUM AND PHOTOSHOP THE STAINED WALLS WHITE AND WARP TOOL ALL THE BAD ANGLES FOR SHITTY IMPORTANT WHATEVER WEBSITES THAT REQUIRE SOME FORM OF WHATEVER OR ANOTHER. I JUST MAKE THINGS ALL THE TIME HAVE THOUGHTS AND WRITE THEM OR SAY THEM SO THAT IS WHAT ILL DO IN THE FUTURE TOO SCROLLLLLLLLLLLLLING SO THAT GIRL MARY WHATEVERS WRITING IS GOOD BC SHE TALKS ABOUT FUCKING TAO LIN? WHAT IF IT WASNT TAO LIN WOULD IT STILL B INTERESTING? SOMEONE JUST TOLD ME THAT WRITING IS DEAD SO THAT IS FUCKED. SOMEONE JUST TOLD ME THAT IF YOU ARE A PAINTING IN 2013 YOU ARE BORING. SO BASICALLY I AM DEAD AND BORING WTF DO THINGS HAVE TO BE DIGITIZED FOR US TO INTERACT WITH THEM ARE WE COMPUTER ADDICTS YES OF COURSE SO NOTHING ANALOG IS GOOD ENOUGH IS IT A SICKNESS TO ENJOY LIFE IRL AM I A ZOMBIE R SOMETHING PEOPLE EXPRESS THEIR HATE TOWARDS NATURE ALL DAY GOING OUTSIDE ISNT COOL ANYMORE I AM VERY CONFLICTED BY THIS BRAVE NEW WORLD OF OURS. SO THEN IT IS TRUE THAT ITS NOTHING UNLESS A GATEKEEPER SAYS IT IS SOMETHING AT WHICH POINT IT BECOMES SOMETHING.
IS ART, THEN, JUST A CONTRIVED VERSION OF ENTERTAINMENT? ID RATHER WATCH COLLEGE FOOTBALL WHITE PEOPLE IN OREGON TAKE THEIR FAMILIES TO PEDICURES PROCEEDING TO THE TRADER JOES SAMPLE COUNTERS TALKING TO PURE STRANGERS ABOUT ARTICHOKE ANTIPASTA AND LISTENING TO DAVE MATTHEWS ALL HOURS OR ALL DAYS
WHAT IS THE BEST ATTITUDE WITH WHICH TO APPROACH BEING AN ARTIST? MAKING ART? HAVING A CAREER? WHAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE PERSONALITY TYPE? WHAT TRAITS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT? ARE WE REALLY TO BELIEVE THAT HAVING VISON, CONSTANT FLOW OF IDEAS, AWARENESS, TENACITY, TECHNICAL ABILITY, ETC, ARE ENOUGH? IS HAVING A CLEAR IDEA OF YOUR BRAND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING? IS CONFUSION ALLOWED? IS IGNORANCE BLISS? IS IT BEST NOT TO GIVE PEOPLE EXPECTATIONS? IS IT BEST TO MANIPULATE YOUR AUDIENCE INTO THINKING YOU DONT CARE? IS IT BETTER TO STICK TO ONE THING? TO BECOME A MASTER? ITS IT BETTER TO BE A JACK OF ALL TRADES? TO USE A FEW MEDIUMS IN THE SAME WAY SO THEY CAN ACCOMPANY EACHOTHER SEAMLESSLY IN A SOLO SHOW? IS IT BETTER TO DO WHATEVER COMES TO MIND? SHOULD AN ARTIST EXPOSE THEIR CONFUSION, LAPSES, DRY SPELLS, WRONG TURNS, AND FAILURES, OR SHOULD THESE FALLACIES BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG, INSTEAD PROMOTING YOURSELF AS A FULLY-ATTACHED FUL LY-SENTIENT SELF-AWARE SMOOTHLY-TRANSITIONING FORWARD-MOVING OMNIPOTENT BEING? IS IT ALLOWED TO LET YOUR AUDIENCE KNOW THAT YOU ARE SCARED AND UNSURE OR DOES THAT DAMAGE YOUR STOCK? IS IT BEST TO WIN ALL ARGUMENTS? IS IT BEST TO SWEEP INTO ROOMS FULL OF DEBONAIRE AND LEAVE THEM GUSHING FOR MORE? IS IT BEST TO BE A CRITICS DANDY? IS IT BEST TO BE A PAINTERS PAINTER? IS THE GUISE OF HUMILITY AN EFFECTIVE TACTIC? DOES NAIVETE BRING WITH IT A MUCH NEEDED AIR OF FRESHNESS? SHOULD WE FOCUS ON BEING KIND OF DUMB BUT KIND OF HOT? OR AS PRIMAL BEINGS DRUNK PISSING IN FIREPLACES? IS IT BETTER COME OFF AS UNATTAINABLE BUILDING WALLS AND LAYER AROUND US SO THAT WE ARE NEVER EXPOSED? SHOULD WE ANSWER OUR FACEBOOK MESSAGES? SHOULD WE MAKE PEOPLE AROUND US FEEL STUPID OR SMART OR DISGUSTED OR ELATED? SHOULD WE PRETEND THAT WE ARE SATISFIED AND EASILY PLEASED? CLAY IN YOUR HANDS TO MOLD? SHOULD WE BROWN NOSE CRITICS AND PANDER TO THEIR PENS? SHOULD WE FOCUS ON BEING HONEST TO OURSELVES AT ALL COST? IS IT BEST TO HIDE BEHIND SMOKE AND MIRRORS? SHOULD WE ELIMINATE OUR INTERNET FOOTPRINTS? IS IT BEST TO OVEREXPOSE OURSELVES? TO ALLOW VIEWERS TO WADE THOUGH OUR LIVES AS ARCHIVED BY OUR TWITTER FEEDS POLAROIDED-PARTY-PICS AND STUDIO-MADE OBJECTS? IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE WEARING DIFFERENT CLOTHES EVERY TIME YOU FIND YOURSELF HOLDING A BOTTLE OF PERRIER OR JACK DANIELS OR EL TINIEBLO OR ALACRAN DURING A PHOTOSHOOT OPPORTUNITY? DOES CAUTION HAVE ANY VALUE OR SHOULD WE FLING OURSELVES FROM EVERY AVAILABLE CLIFF? SHOULD WE SHUT OUR BIG MOUTHS? SHOULD WE FEAR AND RESPECT OUR POTENTIAL BUYERS? SHOULD WE BE POLITE AT THE DINNER TABLE? SHOULD WE SHAKE HANDS WITH OUR ENEMIES? SHOULD WE SHOW REPECT TO OUR ELDERS WHILST FUNDAMENTALLY DISAGREEING WITH THEM? ARE WE COURT JESTERS? SHOULD WE APPEAR DARING AND HILARIOUS WHEN WE HAVE THE AUDIENCE OF POTENTIAL BUYERS? SHOULD WE QUESTION EVERYTHING? SHOULD WE QUESTION NOTHING? SHOULD WE MAINTAIN PARASITIC CASUAL RELATIONSHIPS FOR THE SAKE OF UPWARD MOBILITY? SHOULD WE BE PATIENT OR SHOULD WE BREAK DOWN THE DOOR? DO OUR SOCIAL SKILLS HAVE AS MUCH IMPACT ON OUR CAREERS AS OUR ABILITIES TO MAKE ART? IF WE HAVE AN IMAGE SHOULD WE PROTECT IT OR RUPTURE IT OR SHOULD WE DOUBLE BACK AND VEER OFF IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION? SHOULD WE FIGHT FOR OUR BELIEFS OR WAIT AND HOPE? SHOULD WE TURN THE OTHER CHEEK? SHOULD WE TAKE BAD OPPORTUNITIES SLUNG AT US BECAUSE WE ARE YOUNG AND THEY ARE AVAILABLE? SHOULD WE SPEAK OUT? SHOULD WE SHUT THE FUCK UP? SHOULD WE TONE IT DOWN? SHOULD WE NOT RISK AS MUCH? SHOUD WE RISK MORE? SHOULD WE LISTEN? SHOULD WE JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON? SHOULD WE MAKE AND THINK WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WANT US TO MAKE AND THINK? SHOULD WE FOCUS ON ENTERTAINMENT VALUE? SHOULD WE MAKE FAN SITES FOR OURSELVES AND H8 SITES TOO? SHOULD WE BE MORE CONCERNED WITH DOING BUSINESS OR MAKING GESTURES? IS IRONY EFFECTIVE? WOULD IRONY PROTECT US FROM BEING STRIPPED NAKED DOWN TO WHAT WE REALLY THINK? WOULD HUMOR PROTECT US FROM THE CHOPPING BLOCK OF OUR ACTIONS? DOES WHAT WE THINK REALLY MATTER OR IS THAT OUT OF OUR HANDS? ARE ARTISTS TO ART WHAT MODELS ARE TO FASHION? SHOULD EVERYTHING WE MAKE FIT COMFORTABLY IN A HOUSE OR RESTAURANT OR DOCTORS OFFICE? IS IT CONDONED TO CHANGE YOUR MIND? IS IT TRUE THAT BEAUTY TRUMPS ALL? IS IT IMPORTANT TO TAILOR YOUR MESSAGE TO YOUR AUDIENCE? SHOULD WE GO TO THE MARKET OR SHOULD WE WAIT FOR THE MARKET TO COME TO US? CAN TRUELY EVERYTHING BE SOLD? IS IT BETTER THAT WE PRETEND TO LOVE EVERYTHING THAT WE MAKE? WILL THAT CREATE A UNIFIED FRONT? IS IT BETTER THAT WE ARE HIGHLY CRITICAL OF EVERYTHING INCLUDING OURSELVES? IS BEING A YOUNG ARTIST IN ANY WAY A DETRIMENT? WHEN WE ARE OLD WILL WE ACCEPT THINGS MORE AND FIGHT BACK LESS? WILL WE REGRET BEING SO TEMPESTUOUS? IS IT BETTER TO WORK FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE THE INSTITUTION? IS IT BETTER TO TRUST OR BE SKEPTICAL? DOES AN ARTIST WITH MORE MONEY GENERALLY HAVE MORE POTENTIAL TO MAKE IMPACTFUL WORK? IS AN ARTIST WITH MONEY GENERALLY A BETTER ARTIST THAN AN ARTIST WITH NO MONEY? IS IT BETTER TO MAKE A SMALL BODY OF HIGHLY CONSIDERED WORK OR A HUGE BODY OF IMMEDIATE AND GROTESQUE WORK? IS A SMARTER PERSON A BETTER ARTIST? WILL WE HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT OUR WORK FOR OTHERS TO UNDERSTAND IT? WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT OUR WORK FOR OTHERS TO LIKE IT? WILL OUR WORK HAVE TO BE SOLD FOR OTHERS TO RESPECT IT? HOW DO WE IMPROVE? ARE OUR FATES SEALED? IS THERE A CUTOFF OR A DEADLINE OR A SIGN WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR THAT WILL TELL US IF WEVE MADE IT OR NOT? IF WE BELIEVE DEEPLY IN OUR WORK DOES THAT MEAN ITS GOOD? THE SKY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART A HOMERUN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART THE PACIFIC OCEAN, TUPAC SHAKUR, DOUGLAS FIR TREES, THE STARS, THE PHOSPHORESCENT LONG HANGING AUTUMNAL MOON, SUPER BASS, SONIC YOUTH FULL BORE, A FACE FULL OF WIND, AND BEING CRAMMED IMMOBILIZED SWEATING PROFUSELY IN THE RUSH HOUR METRO ARE ALL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART HELPING PEOPLE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART
A FLOWER IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART TELLING SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART AND KEEPING YOUR WORD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART BEING SCARED IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART THE SMELL OF MUSCLE CARS AND CAMPFIRES IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART A NUCLEAR BOMB IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART THE SUN SETTING BEHIND A RIVER CUTTING THROUGH A FIELD OF TALLGRASS IN OREGON IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART EVERY SMILE AND EVERY FROWN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART BEING HONEST IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART THE TINIEST FLAME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART A HOLE IN THE GROUND IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART RAIN WILL ALWAYS BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART EVERY BIRTH AND EVERY DEATH IN THE HISTORY OF LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART USING YOUR MIND AND VOICE TO COMMUNICATE YOUR THOUGHTS TO OTHER PEOPLE IS INFINITESIMALLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN ART LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD
I saw your blue toothbrush and I missed you I saw your little dusty tennis shoes and I wanted you to be here with me your lotion and your rumpled clothes and the place in the bed where you usually smile in the morning with your eyes still closed and whisper hanselino. I watched a movie that I wanted to watch with you and I wanted you to fall asleep in my arms like you always do and I missed you and I missed you I missed you
ITS GOOD TO BE AROUND PEOPLE BUT NOT TALK. SMILE AND LET THEM SMILE TO YOU. LET YOUR FACE AND EYES AND TEETH BE A REFLECTION OF THEIR FACE AND EYES AND TEETH NO MORE AND NO LESS. SIT IN THE BOWS AND LOOK DOWN AND THINK UPON THEM AND WITH THEM. BE NEAR AND BE VERY FAR . ITS GOOD THESE THINGS ARE GOOD THESE ARE GOOD THINGS. LET THE NOISE DROWN ALL THOSE WORDS ALL THOSE WORDLESS WORLDLY WORDLESS WORDS THAT DONT MATTER ONLY THE EYES MATTER ONLY THE WAY THE EYES REFLECT THE MIND MATTER ONLY THE NOISE MATTERS THAT SHOUT THAT GREETS THAT SALUTES FROM THE EYES FROM THE MIND MATTER. THE SHINY BOTTLE CLUTCHED BETWEEN YOUR SHINY BLACK SUIT JACKET AND THE CROOK OF YOUR ELBOW DOESNT MATTER HERE ONLY THE SHARPNESS OF YOUR EYES AND YOUR MIND MATTER HERE OR ANYWHERE THE LEATHER BAG CLUTCHED DELICATELY ON YOUR THN BRONZE WRIST DOESNT MATTER HERE ONLY THE BRILLIANT CATAPULT FROM YOUR RETINAS TO MY RETINAS MATTER HERE. I AM SITTING ON A COOL WAIST HIGH WALL LOOKING DOWN ON SOCIETY PACKED TOGETHER CHATTERING LIKE FINCHES
I confronted my friend’s face with a clump of dirt and grass saying this is more important than art. Swaying through a collectors house I never met, distinct piss footprints on the roof. Soap opera music I want to wash the salt of extreme wealth off my face and steal something. The muchachas waiting in vain. Limping slowly in the moonlight me and my shadow. Its art because I want it to be art. I fit right in in American Apparel. All my anti-business posturing is part of my business acumen. I’m going to take all this juice I’m acquiring in Latin America and cash it in in New York City. Mexican artists taught me that making fake social change is the best way to receive grant money. Is dichotomy the most common word in an art bio? Subversive? Oscillation? It is important here to treat your art making underlings like muchachas and gatas pay them like that too. Hands without brains, faces without eyes. Talking about race discrimination will usually do the trick. Death, real death, fat bellies with purple bullet holes, is sexy provocative material. What business model art you pushing? I love the fake mysterious erased internet footprint alias creating nerd fuckable conundrums left and right copy to your tweet feed and we can sell this. My grand opus is dressing like a slut. I demand that my issue with the doldrums of hetero male fashion stay bombed all over my frontal cortex. Beethoven said he wanted to break his piano with an axe. It is a powerful web that many female internet artists choose to weave coaxing bank transfers out of the tip of internet informed sexless or ponytail feet fetished latently gay penises of straight men with art collections. Some collectors don’t want honesty they want to rub lies on their face like a used pair of panties. We are driving in the grey sweet air. I started wearing flower shirts now H&M has unveiled their jungle print line there must be a connection. A Televisa building invaded by plants. There are no paintings in Mexico but there are a fuck load of photos that have been drawn on or cut or whatever so rock on guys.
A CRAZY WOMAN FROM DALLAS TOLD ME ONE TIME THAT WILLIAM POWHEDA DESERVES RESPECT BC HE PAID FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL. YAWN HIGH-FABBING STUPID IDEAS IS THE ART EQUIVALENT OF HAVING A TINY COCK AND DRIVING A FORD-150 EXTENDED CAB. THE PROBLEM REMAINS
WRAP UR STUPIDITY IN BUFFED OUT PLASTIC OR DIP IT IN METAL NOW U LOOK SURPRISINGLY SMART UR STUPID RICH FRIENDS CAN C THEIR REFLECTIONS 2!
I HAVE THE EGO OF A MALACOPA LATINO. I HAVE THE EGO OF A WHITE BITCH. MIRAAA. WHY DO SORORITY CHICKS INSIST IN LIVING IN THE SECOND WORLD? MY GALLERIST SWITCHED UP HIS KNOCKOFF RICK OWENS SWEATER. THE IDEA OF A COLLECTOR OVER MIDLIFE CRISIS SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME. THOSE FIRST BLIND MICE DROVE FROM ANTIGUA AND SWIFTLY UTURNED BACK TO THEIR SERVING STAFF. A BALD WOMAN PUT HER SHINY WAXED HEAD ON THE SWEATY 8AM FOREARM OF A MAN WHO GREW UNCOMFORTABLE. I WAS DEPRESSED FOR 4 DAYS UNTIL I SLAMMED MY THUMB IN A DOOR. MY WORK IS OVERPHOTOSHOPPED I TURN UP THE VIBRANCE ITS GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTING WHEN THE FEDEX PACKAGE ARRIVES. BABY GOTTA B POUNDING THAT COCA COLA BOTTLE WERKING ON THAT YOUNG TRASHCAN BODY. EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT HOW CONTEMPORARY ART IS TOO CRYPTIC, SO LETS MAKE IT MORE CRYPTIC. LETS WRITE 10 PAGES OF INSANE PRESS RELEASES, THE CONCEPTUAL OBJECTIVE READYMADE WORK CANNOT CONTAIN ANY SEMBLANCE OF BEAUTY OR AUTONOMY IT CAN ONLY FUNCTION IN A RELATIONAL CONTEXT, REFERRING TO DEEPLY BURIED 4CHAN INSIDER JOKES. EVERYTHING MUST BE OVERLAYERED. MORE LOCKS MORE CHAINS. NOTHING CAN BE CLEAR OR ECONOMICAL. MAKE EVERYONE ASSUME THAT YOU ARE RICH AND ECLECTIC AND FROM A SUBURB. CONCISE GETS SUBMERGED IN A MURKY LAKE THROWING OFF THE SCENT. THE ONLY THING HANDMADE SHOULD BE THE PRICE TAG. THE CONCEPTUAL MOTIF OF SEARCHING FOR A SUELDO CIGARETTE OUTSIDE METRO DIVISION DEL NORTE. DOING SMART THINGS UNDERMINES MY GURU TRUISMS, WHICH SUPPORTS MY GURU TRUISMS. THIS IS MY FIRST ART SHOW. THIS IS MY FIRST ART PIECE. I AM DANCING ENDLESS CIRCLES. SOME PLATFORMS ARE TOO PURE FOR WRETCH LIKE US. MY NEW GOAL IS A SOLO SHOW AT THE SOUMAYA. FUCK THE NEW MUSEUM. IT IS TOO SMART TOO CRITICAL TOO APPLIED TOO WELL PUT TOGETHER TOO NEW YORK IT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE IT IS TOO MUCH WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. THE NEW MUSEUM FUNCTIONS WITH MORE GRACE THAN ANY SLICE OF LIFE THAT IVE EVER SEEN. A DEEP ALCOHOLIC TOLD ME AT 5AM THAT I AM TOO PRETTY TO BE AN ARTIST. THE SOUMAYA IS OVER BUTTERED FUCKING COCK MOUTHED HUMANS BASTARDIZED GLOATING BEAUTIFUL THE REAL DEAL. THIS ATTITUDE WAS BORN FROM UNSURMOUNTABLE LIFETIME FAILURE AND A DIET OF HOTDOGS. A PRESS RELEASE FOR A SHOW ENDLESS JARGON DOGGEREL MCDONALDS IN ZONA ROSA IS MY STUDIO. YOUR DUMB FUNKY UNEDUCATED NO GAME OVEREDUCATED ASSES CAINT NEVER SEE ME EVER. THIS IS WHERE MY VOICE GETS HOARSE. GETTING CHIPPED OUT BY THE EUROPEAN GOVERNMENT THROUGH CONTEMPORARY ART PYRAMID SCHEMES. I ALREADY EXPECTED YOU TO LEAVE UNSATISFIED SO IF YOU ARE STILL HERE YOU ARE NOT MY TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC. KOETSU AND SOTATSU. THIS IS FOR THE 60 YEAR OLD BUSINESS MOGUL IN A NARCO POLO WHO GIVES HIS UGLY BRAINED YOUNG WIFE FROM THE IBERRO BY WAY OF GUADALAJARA PLASTIC SURGERY FOR VALENTINES DAY. SURELY THE WORLD WILL DIE BEFORE IM CASHING THESE PIECES OUT. I EXPECT THE OWNER OF TACO INN TO PURCHASE THIS PIECE AND PLAY IT FROM THE ROOF. I EXPECT EUGENIO LOPEZ TO PURCHASE THIS SOULFUL GAME AND PLAY IT WHEN HES MAKING LOVE. I EXPECT PEDRO REYES TO DOWNLOAD THIS FOR FREE FROM MY SOUNDCLOUD AND STRIP THE IDEAS FROM IT AND MIX THEM WITH SOCIOLOGY AND BE REWARDED IN THE FORM OF HUGE GOVERNMENT GRANTS AND PAY MUCHACHAS TO MAKE EXPENSIVE ART OUT OF IT THAT IS MY BEST PIECE SO FAR. I AM SOON GOING TO BE BLACKLISTED FROM ANY PROMINENT COLLECTION AND THAT WILL BE A GREAT PIECE TOO. I APOLOGIZE TO MY MOM I AM GOING TO NEED FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. MY GIRLFRIEND IS MAKING PAINTINGS WITH GELATO AND WE HAVE A CIVIL UNION. ENDLESS NAKED GIRLS ON CAMERA, ART GESTURE OR OTHERWISE. DIS HAS LOST THE JUICE. IF YOURE GONNA BREAK ART, YOU HAVE TO BREAK WRITING TO WRITE ABOUT IT. FIGHTING DOGS BLEATING IN THE SAN RAFAEL MIDNIGHT. I BUILD MOMENTUM ON FACEBOOK WHENEVER I NEED IT. THE STARS ARE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ART COULD EVER BE. I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT AMADEUS. SUCCESS IN THIS LIFE REQUIRES BUSINESS PEDIGREE. THE CLAMP IS TIGHTENING MORE AND MORE I CANT FEEL MY FINGERS I AM BEING SNUFFED OUT LIKE A CAUGHT BUTTERFLY IN A FREEZER JAR. IM BEING SNUFFED OUT LIKE AN ACOLYTES CANDLE. IM BEING SNUFFED OUT LIKE THE RIGHTS OF ANY URBAN DWELLER LIVING UNDER AN 8 FIGURE INCOME BRACKET IM BEING SNUFFED OUT. I SPRAYED ALL THE COLORS ON TOP OF EACHOTHER MY TRIGGER FINGER IS FEEBLY IMAGINING CRAMPS ON THE SHEER CRUMBLING FACE OF MOUNT LEMON A PITCHERS ELBOW I AM FEELING THE SQUEEZE I JUST WANT TO SELL ONE MEASLY FUCKING THING AND GAIN AN INCH OF AIR TO BREATHE. FUCK I WOULD RATHER BE MOZART THAN SALIERI! FUCK I WOULD RATHER BE A METEOR THAN A COLD SLEEPING PLANET! FUCK I WOULD RATHER SCRAPE BY ON PRIDE AT THIS CALLOUS HORRIBLE EXHAUSTING LIFE THAN SELL OUT FOR THE SAKE OF MY FUTURE SPOILED CHILDRENS NUEVO RICH ORGANIC PRIVATE SCHOOL! FUCK I WANT TO GIVE MYSELF JUSTIFICATION FOR STAYING ALIVE! FAILURES ARE THE ONLY THING THAT FEEL REAL. I CONSIDER IT A PRIORITY TO CANCEL MY JOB AND PARTY WITH RICH PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES ARTISTS. HUSTLING GOVERNMENTS. IVE NEVER FOUND TRUTH IN BOOKS IVE ALWAYS FOUND TRUTH IN ELECTRONIC MUSIC IT IS THE TRUTH THE REVERBERATION OF GODS VOCAL CHORDS ASK ANYONE. BERSHKA DOT COM. MEXICANS ARE GREAT ROCKCLIMBERS YOU SHOULD SEE THE WAY THEY GRIP THE RUBBER WEATHERPROOFING THAT SURROUNDS THE METRO WINDOWS WITH THUMBNAILS AND INDEX FINGERS. EVERYTHING WILL BE REPEATED INFINITELY UNTIL THERE IS NO MORE NUTHIN. THIS IS NEO 16TH CENTURY JAPANESE PRINTMAKING. PHOTOSHOP SAVED MY LIFE. AN INTERNET ARTIST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AMAZON JUNGLE WITH STICKS AND FIRE MAKING INTERNET ART. I WOKE UP AND FRANTICALLY PHOTOSHOPPED FOR 6 HOURS. THERE ARE SOME THINGS I SHOULDNT TWEET ABOUT. DO NOT DENY MY COMPLIMENTARY ASSERTION THAT THERE ARE GOOD ROCK CLIMBERS IN MY NEW COUNTRY. HERE IN MY NEW COUNTRY HOW DARE A WHITE AMERICAN EXTEND THE REGALIA OF KIND WORDS UPON AN AMBASSADOR OF ANOTHER CULTURE. A CURSE UPON MY HOUSE. A CURSE UPON MY PENTHOUSE. I WANTED TO DESTROY MY ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE MYSELF. I BURNED ALL OF MY BOOKS IN A GESTURE TO THE HUMAN CAPACITY TO REMEMBER. LAST NIGHT I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO TALK ABOUT SPORTS. 5 HUMANS SAT AND SPOKE THE GOSPEL FROM THEIR WILLING MOUTHS LISTENING TO THEMSELVES WITH SELF-IMPORTANT GLEE I SHUT MY TRAP AND PRAYED FOR AN EARTHQUAKE. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WARM COCA COLA AND A DEAD TONGUE CLASPING FATE AND MORTALITY. LARS TCF HOLDHUS MADE A PERFECT SONG I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO IT ON REPEAT FOR 4 DAYS. I CANT TELL IF I REALLY KNOW WHAT I AM DOING OR IF I AM ATROCIOUS SMOTHERED IN DENIAL. ALL OF MY UNDERWEAR IS TATTERED ALL OF MY CLOTHING IS RUFFLED MY SOUL IS TARNISHED MY EYELIDS ARE HANGING THERE IS SWEAT BUILDING UNDER THE STUBBLE OF MY UPPER LIP THERE IS PURPLE BLACK AEROSOL EMBEDDED INTO THE GROOVES OF MY KNUCKLES. I FALL FORWARD INTO GRAVITY LIKE A SLUG A FORTUNE TELLER SAYS I AM A CHEATER MY MUSCLES ATROPHY I WEAR WOMENS CLOTHING I WRITE LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION AND I CANNOT PAY RENT. ONCE I SAW THE DEVIL COLLECTING HIMSELF IN THE DARKEST CORNER OF A SMALL LIVING ROOM. ONCE I BROKE INTO A HOUSE AND VANDALIZED THE CEILING WITH THE SAME BAD SCRAWL THAT IM NOW INCREASINGLY KNOWN FOR. WE USED TO WADE IN A CRISP STREAM AND CATCH CRAWDADS. THIS PAGE OF WRITING MARKS A LOW POINT IN MY LIFE. IT IS A GAMBLE. TINO SEGHAL IS FUCKING RADICAL FUCKING RADICAL. CROSSING GATES. USING SOUND TO CREATE THRESHOLDS. USING SOUND TO ABSOLUTELY DOMINATE THRESHOLDS. USING SOUND TO TRANSCEND A SPACE. USING SOUND TO TRANSCEND THE BODY. USING SOUND TO TRANSCEND TIME. SOMEHOW. THAT SHIT PUTS ME ON A LEVEL. LEAVING MYSELF BEHIND. LEAVING MYSELF AND YOURSELF AND OURSELVES BEHIND. BUILDING A SWELL A SURGE SO IMPOSSIBLY VAST SO TRANSCENDENTALLY VAST SO USELESSLY AND INFINITELY UNEQUIVOCALLY VAST. SO FUCKING FLAT AND NOTHING AND BOLD AND FULL AND EVERYTHING AND ALL AND ALL THINGS. SO MANY ADJECTIVES. THIS IS NOT MUSIC. I DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS BUT IT IS NOT MUSIC. FUTILE FEUDAL CALLIGRAPHY FROM THE IDEA OF AN AUTUMN-LEAVED MOUNTAINTOP. AND ALSO I AM A BAD ARTIST. I BELIEVE IN A FORCE MUCH GREATER THAN MEXICO CITY OR CATHOLIC GOD I BELIEVE IN SUPER BASS. I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT SLEEPING IN PARKS.

I don’t let myself like art. If I like it I treat it like carrion and pick it apart so hard and fast that there’s nothing left for me to enjoy of it. How dare these ideas be in my mind. Art is a fucking equation that needs solving so we can be rid of it and enjoy our life like a normal godinez. I don’t let myself like my art. Liking my art would lead to being satisfied with my art and then what the fuck would I do with my life? Work at a marketing firm in New York City? Wear corduroy pants? This work is important. Or it can be. Or it might be. Or it will be. But that doesn’t create satisfaction, just more initiative to solve the equation. People say they like these pieces because they think the same things but wouldn’t think to construct art out of these thoughts. I make these pieces because I don’t know how to pick them apart or classify them. I don’t know what category they fall under. They rupture a lot of things. Play this work at Zona Maco on stadium speakers and watch those papalords go running for the hills of Reforma. I don’t trust artists who are enamored with their work; in pictures on the internet smiling smugly in front of their shit design under a florescent light in a button up shirt. How can Fernando Romero have such a dope house and invite such losers to his house. I wonder what this piece will amount to, will it be a problem for you that it’s so about me? A whole generation has been inspired by that played out photographer who’s taken theatrical self-portraits for 20 years. What’s her name? Hasn’t she milked that cow long enough? I liked Isaac Muñoz’s idea for artists to do standup comedy. Brilliant. That’s changing the approach to making art, not just using the latest technology to make the latest same old shit. After The End Of Art caliber thinking. If you are preoccupied with telling jokes in your art, cut the shit and tell jokes, what do you need the art for? Shoutout Richard Prince. Shoutout twenty-something neo-hippies from Connecticut. Do you think that Daniel Buren now only clings to stripes out of fear? Humans lie humans fuck up its okay to go against the hasty promises of your youth. I put blinders on when I look at art. I don’t want to see anything. I just want to strip the ideas off the bones. I like walking through the Metropolitan Museum of Art listening to gangster rap thinking about my art and only my art. As if my art is the only real art in the world. As if my brain and ideas are insurmountable. As if I could see the hottest shit going and it wouldn’t penetrate. I am not open I am closed. I don’t want a single one of your ideas to enter my brain. I know it’s a brilliant idea if it finally drills through my defenses and into my temple. Sometimes it takes years to burrow through. I tried to think about my art during a Fuck Buttons concert at the Mercury Lounge on Bowery and that music obliterated me. I need my art to do that! I was pissed off yesterday when I realized that spending 30 hours at an art fair influenced its way into my writing. How dare it. I badly hung bad art for a nice man from Stockholm with bad taste. I have never seen a gallerist so slumped over in defeat. It was mortifying. Usually they are better at lying to themselves. What am I going to do when I enter the art fair circuit? How is my sense of self going to take that blow? And surely and absolutely I will not be allowed to do something fucked up. Or smart. Or good. It will be some shitty tight little spray painted paintings on canvas maybe linen. This is a huge fear of mine. Speaking of fear let’s talk about Gabriel Orozco. Let’s talk about how fear shrinks your little balls into nothing. Let’s talk about being scared of young people who have less to lose than you and who don’t give a fuck more than you. I was taking a shower meditating imagining a confrontation with Gabriel Orozco. Do you think he’s ever been punched in the face? That’s an important question to ask yourself of today’s artists. What could Gabriel possibly say to me? “I don’t know who you are?” I have NO IDEA what kind of art Gabriel Orozco makes. Do you guys like it? Is it good? Would he tell me I’m poor so I don’t matter? If he did Id tell him he’d be better off a lawyer. He is too barren and forsaken how can he possibly speak for humanity? A newish rule in art is that: You don’t tell me that I matter, I tell you that I matter. And if I can dictate why I, someone, matters, then I can dictate whether or not you matter. Don’t tell me to stop getting caught up in politics and arguments. I have juice because I say so. This is art. I am not a badass I just can’t fathom making the same type of work as rich dumb internet artists who read get rich quick books for art tips. I put a 10 minute loop of Drake singing “you looking good girl, goodgoodgoodgood girl, gogogogo get it girl” on Felipe Ehrenberg’s facebook event page for his latest piss poor effort. When an old washed up artist wakes up in the morning and washes his face and stares deeply into the bloodshot grey eyes in the mirror-- what does he think? I wish someone would tell me. I’ll be sitting in the same chair one day. I hope I have the grace and dignity to sit there and watch the waves roll in. I am a fucking asshole. I don’t blame him, but game over. I don’t blame any of you, but game over: An Application Letter To USC

SO, HELL PUSS GOD
I will build up a massive curriculum vitae and brand-name driven primary and secondary market value and then destroy everything. Destroy my work, my name, my dignity, my relationships, my legacy; everything. Just squeeze the detonator. My great opus. Humility was never mine but hubris always was and Ill capitalize on that. Time for my wings to melt off and to fall into the ocean. My mom and my therapist(s) will turn out to be right in the end. I will see my downfall coming, sliding down the mountain toward me, I will taste it in my mouth like next-day cocaine in the nasal passage or the blood of a bit lip. All those media contacts Ill have leveraged over the years, all those institutional relationships and hangers-on wont revitalize my fading inspiration, my detachment, my irreverence towards the next generations artists and issues, Ill become unable to communicate to the contemporary human. A living memory. Not even factory-fabricated intern-assisted federal-government-financed projects will keep me afloat. I’ll be a ghost. Ill tell the media I’m quitting Art. I’ll try gardening and being a family man, unsuccessfully. A year later, anxious, bewildered, Lorazepam, Ill return to work, I’ll have to. After decades of acclaim and flashes and emails and interviews I’ll be a junkie. I won’t have had a good idea in two decades but I’ll keep the press rolling. Floundering, drowning miserably in narcissism. The Emperor’s new clothes. Ill become violently indignant. Ill lash out. Ill burn what few of my bridges were left standing. All those years of drinking and drugging and slugging my way through contractually obligated art events will have caught up. I’ll be no more than a shell of who I was when art meant something to me. Running on fumes. It will feel less and less worthwhile to wake up in the morning. In a Custer’s last stand of sorts, Ill flood the market with a bunch of ego-driven punch-drunk gasps, homages to my early ideas and intensity. My press and fans will dry up and blow somewhere else, even the naïve students will cease to approach me. I’ll be alone with nothing, as I entered this world. I’ll let go. I’ll stop. The weight will be released. I’ll die. The prices will level out and begin to inch their way up and up in blue-chip fashion. The high school acquaintances that collected my first works and the nameless full-time caregivers that stole my last works will get rich beyond measure at the auction block. Major permanent collections will fight over my estate. Over time people will forget about the last dirty ugly years.

In He was the beginning. From shade. God of old of created man. Whose house fished alone on the Earth. In sunlight on the skiff of Earth in riverbanks without form. In the shade of the gone and void, darkness of days now upon trees without forests. From the deep shade by the forty-fig banyan, Spirit-Siddhartha-God grew and moved of the waters and light-browned-riverbank and old sunshine, bathing during the light, darkness unlucky during the sacred offerings in the form of ritual ablutions.
ON THE BROWN STREET IN THE BROWN SMELLING DAY WITH THE SUN BARING THOUGH A POLICE OFFICER WITH HIS THUMBS TUCKED INTO THE ARMPIT HOLES OF HIS BULLETPROOF VEST ARMS HANGING DOWN LIKE CHICKEN WINGS LEANING AGAINST AN ALUMINUM LIGHTPOST NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD
The evening eyes saw the clouding over and wild were the eyes! Darkness streaming was everywhere upon the river of us. Facing visions of hundreds and hallucinations of deep thousands. Gone the Spirit of God which came down the American river upon the past. Gone dreams and adorations. And animal-God saw screams divided and the face of suicides! Light of minds! Darkness opened of Time! The infinite real darkness of holy pain. And holy yells bade red farewell and jumped off of a firmament crease, off of the contorted roof and into the midst of weeping solitude! Waving! Carrying flowers to the waters! And face down in the murderer river! The saw of the waters, the knife of the waters! And into God met the body of you with the firmament of Rockland.
Time is over, friend. Of it grew such a radiant glow, nearly killed as I, blissfully luminous, out of a thousand little folds, childlike, senile, Akira to kill the stars and the evening moon that runs away. But imagine man of each day by the riverbank, holding silent and listening to the sun! We were the water, born lucky, we thought. I have never seen the ferryman.
