Thisitch

The sentance interrupts the train of thought and seems out of place.
Chess, the game and everythihg associated with it is now placed somewhere else - along with telephones, newspapers, wine glasses, lobster, apples, bowler hats and sandals.Untouchable. The object rules, shades and glowsticks, she''ll love the digital, he'll eat his own chocolates.

I MUST SAY

It should be impossible to recreate the aesthetic dimension of the 1950s

Again, the dressed crab (without)

The thing you see with art is that it tries too hard to fit in. It tries so hard,and wipes itself on the mouths of those who do not care for it. Art is prostitution, of course, but that is never nothing new. Why or how could that be the case. The answer, as judge and jury reside is refusal. The answer is as all eloquent fenchmen, without any hint of irony know - nothing. Disengagement, or to put it another way disengagement. or nothing, of nothing £MINIMUM WAGE, of nothing. The future, what future? Future is not in the hands of the artists at all. They make us marxist mais je suis ne pas marxiste. I fell deep injustice of the kind whereby all the murders and rapes and kidnaps and robberies and hearfelt tradgedies are crystalised in one . - these ar not the palette of art but they are of art, and dirty and base as it sounds, art has them tatooed all the way up it's left arm.

There might exist a situation whereby all one does is reflect ones own anxiety. (poem - la poem - lapoem)

Perhaps there exists no idea of which
this sentance is certain. The response
albeit facile will always be worth more

Mistakes exist.

Oh what is the broken corner. It is the time when language has no precedent. Perhaps? The idea persists whereby something is smashed and we encircled it, we dare not touch it, but we do want to. It is within us all to wish that deep within the motocross wreckage their exists a rider with letters, and a non-reflectant visor,who at least takes the pressure of the incumbents. It is not a good sign when all around are ticking boxes and all around are gathered round and the idea of the poem gets eaten. " Dear Publisher" please feel free to pull your cheque book out after readung my heart wrenched musing. The glass fronted new churchco building slants away and sponsors me as I write. Who?

Skankraft enlabed

Not ideal this, imagination.

Grasping earthly things of "humanism".
We can speak of reality,
.."Well, you might think so, but in reality I think you'll find that things are quite different"
-"What makes you think that? I think these thoughts, I am real, does it not follow that my thoughts are also."
"Well, yes"
-"So what I think...
"Let me finish! What you think is of the world, yes and in that sense there may be a germ of truth in it, but it is not in the world. - Thought is not a thing"
-"Is a thing a thought?"

Not idle, imagination this.

Still, moving

What to about this dormant situation that clouds all others. It is a constant, this numbness and a feeling of severed connectivity. Need is there to act and make real these thoughts. There is a problem of space, too little on one side perhaps (who knows) and not enough on the other. How does this space problem resolve itself. Did it happen whilst I watched, keeping a distance, hoping eternally for a sign that would justify these dormant situations to continue. All green jars turned inwards and continued, as it does now, without, but also with. Also, it is organisation and planning and clinical psychological. The only way may be to forget and make alive these dormant thoughts, on the violin, plucked pity and a melody of a solo tune - forgetting the fact that this might be deemed. (who knows)

A major disruption. Something old

Plans and figures

SHOW YOUR TEETH NOW AND THEN IN THE WINTER, A NEW OLD UNDERSTANDING, THE DIRECTOR GENERAL AND A PUBLIC 2005. THE RESTAURANT AND THE FARM WHAT WOULD A GOOD LUNCH NEED? THE FARM HERE AS IT ONCE HAD. NOT AS A SMERED ON LOOK, BUT FROM ITS BONES. NICELY BUT UNCOMMITEDLY, NOT A LOVELY BLANK CANVAS - A MARKET GARDEN PUSHED INTO THE MIDDLE, MAKE THE CHANGES. THE VISION OF THE PASSED HAD SUCH EFFECT, EVEN PERFECT. ANIMATED AND FLICKERING WITH LIFE. ASENSE OF NOT A SHRINE, SELF RENEWAL WAS PART OF THE ESSENCE. KENTISHNESS, THE LAND, THE CASTLE AND THE EYE, THE PASTURE AND THE ROSE. EMBODY THE GARDEN IN A FARM. STEAM HAD TO BE VIABLE, IT WOULD SMELL WRONG. MIXED FARMING AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE STUDY, WITH VIEW OF ITS OWN RESTAURANT-POLYCULTURAL. BEEFDUCKS, THESE IDEAS RAISED THEIR HEADS. DISTURB IT, THE EASY IDEAS AND A DRINKS PARTY. HOY MULLED WINE. A WOMAN, WELL HERE IT WAS, THE SUNNY VISION OF PERFECTION. DEVOTED QUITE AS MUCH INTERESTED.

THE IDEAL OWNERS/ aircraft 65

Typical craziness creating an illusion in a very sensitive area with fireballs. Maximum affect minimum force. An interesting question, where are you? The people who get the coffee are on the bottom. Do you eat as well as the dog? Head of Department. How much do you earn in the ballpark? Architypal surge of electricity and then a huge explosion. A company, earlier as a young lad, building your aircraft kits.Making a living out of it. Senior designer. The year was 2001, he wen't freelance and never looked back. £160,000. 200 or so people who do what he does. Blow up a series of caravans. Creating fireballs. A pause, etends the look. These days are big shows with even bigger egos. Appropriate or not.

The hours sort of evening, snow locations and stuff like that. Now I have a family. Nothing to do with film, I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. Can we ask you a question. I want to get to get his autograph. How knows really. More like 20, you do have a point there, definately, wouldn't we all. That is depending on how they shoot.The camera and this is terrible. Do you know when they are coming? The really great thing was the setting itself, under-appreciated work and imagery in many ways is a great thing but in 10-20years... I would think they look so fake. Were they always important? Aeroplanes, the just sit around and talk. They don't blow anything up. Ending this weeks edition. A wonderful way, 65 years ago, In most vital vessels.

Confused alarm

Please leave this office with a free dvd

Companion magazine, give it to me, I gotta get it, I want it - Just about anything
Where would you go to?
Just another reason.

The next great slice of the profits
Stop your swirling under the sun
The original cuban dream
Will you marry me ok?
Technically, the new series continues

Disgruntled on the sofa
A third click
She keeps doing it, that's why
The final reveal The final
Do not draw this man
He is the man

That is what you wanted
Europe, as a song
Well done
My friendship, it takes more than you
Congratulations, so rude
Speachless.
Swing the leg
In bed for two hours
I need a cigarette
More appealling now

Quite obvious, say look
I'm confused
The whole, That'll be it
Tears on the luxury
Sigh and tap turning
Garaunteed, I'm happy
No, no I really am
Chick pea
Oh, stop it. Silly now
He doesn't mean it. All the time
Yeah, you know
Stop it, he doesn't mean it
Stir the pot, move it on
She's just very upset.
Oh God.
There is no situation here, nothing is happening.

Nobody said it should be abstract

Caught the line now
I need a new tailor too
A new taylor too
-instrumental-
one trumpet and drum
Song change
Horses of the sand
I'm the political prince at parties
I'm the pastry donkey
The picture of holy water
Where's the party now?
Now!
Crouchet, crouchet
Synth
SYNTH!
The picking morning minstrel
La lala la
End in orange Academy
(useless quote)
Those with a need to chase
Sax
SAX!
Ain't he sure what he's done

Falling chords

I recognise the piano. Standing thinly and whacawhaca. Over to those who have not a care. Do they show us or do we show them? Could it be? The chorus is unforgettable, etched as a phrase "Do as your told" from beyond the time. Passing on and turning, changing - for them -if they come -. Again the piano, this time joking, playing. With intent, to present the idea of smoke. Purple velvet walls and a boxed crated stage infront of the foot tappers. They have come for these falling chords. Could it be? Could you be? Narcotics with religion, ticking every corner and every seat on the bus.

Regard

It is not impossible. The hologram is official. Admittance is permitted, shortly. Are there three voices? - With guitar and cheap mirror, echoes of the early world and of dutch painting. A pond, a window, a cajole in the shared street below. Of course, of course, here, slinking around Otto Dix's own personal table and her green ash face. Desperance and all other utterance - A chorus of sorts, the type of which was taken from the library on the occasion. Do you you remember? - Out in the street how the canvas wiped the wall, edges flailed under the life of her voice. Like mice didn't we squell away, into Zimmerman caves and ithis and ithat. If only we could share the streets again, as the official hologram ourselves as us.

To the sound

The next festival will be exceptional.
A new presentation will be made.
It has been in the making for thirty years
All guitar strings evoke the clouded.
Chords lift, in major gatherings
keeping time, heartfelt. They, those and them are swaying, brightly coloured, Sloganless.

"The point is to be european, not in jest but in actuality. Do not pretend. It is very important.Facts in English are of little importance until they are converted into the original "Legua Madre"

Terry Eagleton quotes

Knowledge is creative intuition
Nature is itself the supreme artefact
The root of the idea of the aesthetic is theogical
The aesthetic is securly secular
The truly austere, severe and regular restraintive character corresponds (not fights or thwarts) with the free, the easy the secure the bold
Shaftesbury/aristocratic/neo-platonist/antagonistic

The self pleasing end in itself

What if it were the case that not only morality, but cognition itself were 'aesthetic'? That sensation and intuition, far from figuring as its opposites were in fact its very basis

Reducing morality to mere sentiment threatens also to reduce knowledge to fictional hypothesis belief to an intense feeling - the continuing of the self to a fictional hypothesis, causality to an imaginative construct and history for a kind of text.

To die the death of art

Unveiling

The Unveiling, (The unveiling comma or The unveiling coma /
The unveilling of cromer

The play (performance) as form about a thing with the thing removed. How is this achieved see Samuel Beckett and WAITING for Godot. Only This Theatre is Empty (If I can I shall)
The only reason why this could be described as a play is if the Term "Theatre" is understood in the literal sense. What is the literal sense of the word. - Relation to place, physically. "Play" denotes a piece of writing to be performed
QUITE CLEARLY THIS IS A PLAY ABOUT A POTENTIALLY 'FAILED' PHD (THE PAINTING THAT IS TO BE UNVEILED IS THE BARTLETT, BOLTED)
The play is about something to be seen, the anticipation of what it will be - the gathering of the crowds. The artwork is the thing to be unveiled. - The pertinance of the question "What is this the artwork that is in the process of being unveiled
"All heard about the coming exhibition, all were all told and all were heard"
Does a pretext for the object exist? Is it required?
They thought their thoughts, and it is here that begins a dialogue,of differences and eclecticity - The gamet of choosing a position and holding to it truly.
Making of much to be reduced
Synopsis,
Sunday Solace
And from which point in time (old ~ new)
If we begin with a problem of calling this a play or a performance (These are perhaps performance notes) Note taking , Note worthy. See paper source
The artwork as mocking the practices of the western artworld (private view as art, chinese source)
"He turned his life into a project"

The emperors new clothes - What is performed exists / What does not exist is the very thing that the performance is about
The write to talk
Furore around the thing. The anticipation and then the non-seeing - If what is to be seen is removed, what is then seen.

An artwork about an artwork that is there only by the principle of the first artwork.

A drawing exists - "I have done a drawing" exists. This is a sequel, only of how many. *The paper drawing is the drawing from the first video, the first fuss. We then see this drawing as metaphor for the entire process, or a warning point for the second.

It is of a cloth being removed from a canvas shape - the whipping off is the central activity of the thing.
KEY POINT - Is the cloth taken off in the play, and at what point
The biography of the scamp is important discreet.
Lineages
"Sketch for a play"
"Play for a sketch
The desire to insert meaning and truth, its search as an end, the tautological questioner - The what is it about, "What is this about" - The uncomfortable doubter, the child who wants to point at the king and his lack

ACCOUNT for this is a sketch for not a play but a theory of a play.
If Italk with the intention to upset, then I cannot be upset when I am talked to with the intention to upset.
"A critique of genuine veracity"
KEY POINT - DEFINE seperate attitudes.
"Le Verrou", exists in the louvre. If place is important, essential as experience then a trip will need to be organised. For the purposes of both the play and the potential phd. The sense of place for the painting, but not necessarily for the play.
(two self appointed 'culture vultures' talk about an exhibition they have just seen, as they walk away from it, their discussion is quick and caustic in nature. They are both aware of this.
-I can't believe they've let him do it!
-I know... apparently he procrastinated about it for years
-It's like 'bon-jour'! bon-jour!'
-I rather like the cheekyness of the gesture though, don't you think?
Well, it's obviously such a pretentious idea that they thought they'd have to like it!

Peeled off

Mocksim presumes that it is okay to consider 'manufactured objects' in more depth. It should be perhaps demanded that this be the case, if the nascent manifesto of the doomsbury set be adhered to. Mocksim also points out that we are free to choose our taste. For this is a democracy after all. The point still remains however that some opinions or judgements are more informed than others. The doomsbury set wish to examine artistic judgement, seriously.

What then makes an informed judgement when looking at 'John Peel Memorial'? It probably starts with the recognition of who John Peel was. It goes without saying that the artist has wanted to commemorate the life of a DJ, but at no place on the memorial does his name appear. It features as phantom, a form of cultural currency that cannot be denied. It is the stregth then of this currency that informs the artist. A semblance of representation is all that is needed, for 'all those who knew of John, will recognise of John'. This apparent ellusive touch is categorically undermined by the fact that it is by nature a commemorative mural - for whom?

The mural lauds over a perfectly respectable wall. In a town where religion and worship are seen as suitably uncool, this mural takes on a strong messianic tone. A God for the unsaintly hipsters, the independents who know music from musak... An expression of cool remembrance for a humble human being that treats art not as symphony but as jingle.

It started with the idea of the dinosaur

EASY ACTION

The football team Tottenham Hotspur where a badge that carries the mantra: To dare is to do. To not dare? To not do? Are these negated by the logo.

Negated? What? -Does the idea of doing undo the not doing?
If it is pure action or stuff or accumalation or things, things in the world, articles of a non-responsive nature "trashbat.co.ck yeah" then it can be described as easy action. It is, theoretically simple to create a 'territory'. Apparently.
