maxims and arrows


1: In your own time,
and in your own place.
Break all rules,
Including these.



2: Never look towards the future,
always move through it.



3: Embrace life’s contradictions
or become its negation.



4:Don’t try to teach pigs to sing
it annoys the pigs
and it wastes you’re time.



5: Don’t try to make things
something that they are not.



6: You are what you is
and you ain’t what you’re not.
7: A painting cannot talk
it has no mouth
but it can point
it has form
it can be an arrow
it can have its maxim.



8: We wish to distance ourselves from abstract art.
It is wallpaper, sometimes vibrant, and interesting but wallpaper none the less, inoffensive, and comfortable.



9: Art needs not to represent
but to reflect
the situation
in which it was made
only then
can it hope to escape
the deadly trap
of
phenomenology.

Ultimately can it ever
escape?
Can you?
And is it something that you should want to escape?
