ICA

I went to the ICA today. It was really inspiring. Especially this room:

I was also entirely absorbed while looking at this sculpture by Cornelia Parker. I was on a different planet. It was the first time I've had an experience like that with a three dimensional work of art.

I also got to see some photos by PL Dicorcia, Cindy Sherman, Rineke Dijkstra and Roe Ethridge.

there remained the strange, cool, yet irresistable urge to see, to observe, and to participate with secret pride in the work of creation. that was the value and the residue of his unsuccessful life, the imperturbable loneliness and cold delight of art, and to follow that star without detours would from now on be his destiny.

his probing and insights were without resignation; full of defiance and venturesome passion, he looked forward to the new life, which, he was resolved, would no longer be a groping or dim-sighted wandering but rather a bold, steep climb. later and more painfully perhaps than most men, he had taken leave of the sweet twilight of youth. now he stood poor and belated in the bright daylight, and of that he meant never again to lose a precious moment.

ON THE NATURE OF IDEAS

2009-05-20T15:55:00.001-04:00

you do not need to leave your room.

remain sitting at your table and listen.

do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet

still and solitary. the world will freely

offer itself to you to be unmasked, it

has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
