“Let an average group of words, under the comprehension of the gaze, line up in definitive traits, surrounded by silence.”

– Stéphane Mallarmé: ‘Crise de vers’, 1897

Text: “the shrieking condemnation, by the tearing gesture itself, of any authorial posturing artistic agency / what does it mean to be an artistic subject, an author”

THE WHOLE PROJECT

Art is not a thing but a way of thinking and making: ethical labour as living labour operating through collective intelligence. As fragments find their edges, objects exist in time, and emergent forms are found in small provisional acts of deferral grounded in tactile engagement and enactive awareness. And all this oriented toward social praxis, collective human potential, and the well-doing of what needs doing.

1. compressed conceptual units

2. non-obvious pairings

3. high-density phrases

4. juxtapositional fragments.

And as Reinhardt said: “Repetition of formula over over again until loses all meaning…”
