You do things.You try it, this way, that way. You stray, you flop and then you flip again, and something, some things come out of it.You do them and please, please, you think, do not ask me what I’m doing, what my political take on this, for the moment…

Sharing the Sensible (In a Rich Man’s World)
by on June 5, 2011 in New Art, performing, Poland, political, Uncategorized
The thing is: I’m very excited about performance moving forward. And I love how it invades all sorts of territories. I do it, watch it, write about it. It’s my cup of tea. That is precisely why I don’t want to leave it with an “interesting experiment” …
Allan Kaprow on installation and performance
by on March 29, 2011 in New Art, performing

What you like is to look
by on November 10, 2010 in New Art, performing
What you like is to look.You like to suck it up in your gaze, you like to smear your innocent mind with the flesh of sight.What you like is to become dependent. To let go of the constructions and make them make you.This is the universe of the aesthetic…
Five sentences concerning ghosts
by on November 4, 2010 in New Art, painting/photo
Both pictures by Ujin Lee, from the Dust series.There is never enough time or effort or vision to make sure things are fixed.We must suppose they are (or were) somewhere here, in the vicinity of the place we are (or were) standing, in the present conti…
Alevtina Kakhidze – Revolutionary Obedience
by on October 30, 2010 in New Art
“Art must concern itself with the real, but it throws any notion of the real into question. It always turns the real into a facade, a representation, and a construction. But it also raises questions about the motives of that construction.” – Mike Kelle…
