apparent

it is apparent that artform reaches its saturation points with exercises such as conceptual writing and etc

[
(if i take someone else's poem and put it in my hands that constitutes a different art-work - what if a beggar
put a poem in his hands would that be called art? yes according to the proponents
but I say there is also intention of the mind mind-set projecting certain energy that "I want this to be called art"
which forces us to accept it in that direction (at least as long as the energy lasts)

there is myriad dispositions of a work of art a book is fallen into the ground would that constitute different work of art
than the book itself?
I think we are reaching absurd levels of notions that only entertain as thought and might as well go into some handbook
but not be called art at least to the current conceptions of art - something that I worked to physically produce

otherwise the 4 55 moments of silence of Cage can be considered as a nice dance gesture can be categorized as dance it's pretty simple

and those who put in their hands books of others can be categorized as dancers
or performers in other sense

that's perfect let them do that dance and let us see (it) the dance

but of course we only see the end result of the dance which is the bodies frozen (in time and space)

a visual art like if the dancers were to be frozen there for ever

that would constitute sculpture

or if they were frozen in film that would constitute a film re- representation of the dance of the activities which was called art in the
beginning


therefore the 'artist' have some concept and pass it on to others to perform it's performance art

and we see the end result of course the end result is nothing in itself but we have to take in the whole performance

and that to be seen in its entirety is difficult if not impossible in some cases

therefore we have a fragmentation of art

where something is conceived in the minds of some people in italy and they are executed in afganistan

where is the art in this whole body?

it's the whole body which we don't it have as a whole

thus the exasperation you can't own that whole body

you would have to own the artist its mind and the produced result

or do we get the energy of the artist on the art work?

thats always the case (a painting of picasso carries his energy)

but now it becomes more pertinent as the artist is explicitly part of the art object

thus because these artists can't produce actual artworks (they are physically incapable or not inclined to do so)
they embody themselves int the art object which becomes
object from work

i.e. concept +work

thus the concept comes to the fore and we have to celebrate them for their concepts

that's science and they would do well to devote themselves to science

]

where the artform reaches the highly intellectuals where there is no action of the body but only of the brain (someone will say this happens
in every epoch - and then?)

these can be categorized as conceptual activities but the term 'art' carries enough currency so that everyone will want to be included in that

of course the definition of art changes it was craft in the ancient world (e.g., the Parthenon)

where now craft is relegated to the lower echelons of folk and kitschy activities

everyone will agree that art is to produce something beautiful but what that beautiful means is different for different people
it can also mean anti-beautiful such as those feminist-based activities which are used to protest something

I say art is the expression of non-functionality and the genuiness of it will be determined by time

this includes the above named activities and it is unfortunate that it does

but I think the above named activities are a show-off

so then we will have to deal with practice and cut off some


I like the notion of Bill Benzon http://new-savanna.blogspot.gr/2012/07/bryant-watch-mcart.html that brings it back to the 'eye of the beholder' or bring it back to circle
'let me hang this in the wall and let people see it and decide if it is art if it has any effect on them positive negative

[I have to re-read heidegger's on the work of art but I think his dictum is that the work of art opens up truth]


this opens the question of categorization

different levels of people will have a reaction to different levels of 'art'

so it is a problem of time

and don't go be taking exit polls outside the museum
there will be ohhhh and aaaaahs of the people
then they go home and sit down on it
or years will pass
or centuries

of course other forms are easily detectable right off hand

I have to say I'm surprised by the conceit of these people

they are clever manufacturers

of course everything that is is
and everything that exist exists
