Physics and Psychoanalysis?
“One of the primary blocks to such latent creativity is what Bohm refers to as ‘self-sustaining’ confusion in the mind, in contrast to ‘simple’ confusion. Simple confusion is that which we experience when for instance, we don’t understand directions we are given, or when we can’t find the solution to a puzzle. Self-sustaining confusion, on the other hand occurs ‘when the mind is trying to escape awareness of conflict…in which one’s deep intention is really to avoid perceiving the fact, rather than to sort it out and make it clear’ Bohm points out that this process creates an order of its own: a reflexive state of dullness in which the natural agility of the mind is replaced is replaced with a torpor on the one hand, mechanical and meaningless fantasies on the other. Unfortunately says Bohm, this has come to be considered a normal state of mind, and is therefore endemic to our culture.”
-Lee Nichols, Preface to the Routledge Classics Edition of David Bohm’s “On Creativity”, Routledge 1997.

Depiction?
Alberto Giacometti famously claimed that he wanted to capture the dying and decomposing bodies of the people that he portrayed. The claim is amazingly beautiful because it shifts the outlook on how we perceive time, reality and depiction. The statement obviously turns portraiture upside down, but so much more than that. Just imagine if we could create photographs in the same way. It would make Dorian Gray’s portrait mundane. After all, the body is a short-lived entity that spites the universe’s movement towards higher equilibrium (the second law of thermodynamics). The ageing process on the other hand proves the impotence of this spitefulness.

Michel Cassé the Brilliant Astronomer
“…je dirai que la réalité est une convention stupide établie par des êtres sans humour, ni scrupules, et que je réclame pour moi le droit de me contredire, à l’instar du poème moderne.”
"…I would say that reality is an agreement made by stupid people with no sense of humor, no scruples, and I state that I have the right to contradict myself like a modernist poem.”

From our Danish Friends
The following was posted on www.wooloo.org:
"We [Wooloo] just returned from the opening weekend of the Momentum Biennial, held in Moss, Norway. Wooloo was presenting our work 'Two Years' Untouched Garden' - a proposal to leave the garden outside one of the main exhibition venues fallow for two years, from this biennial until the opening of the next in 2013.
However, the very thought of this experiment has caused intense debate and protests in local Norwegian media, which has now resulted in a political decision to ban our work.
The grass outside the historical villa at Gallery F15 will continue to be cut each Friday."
Isn't the piece better non-realized than realized?

Community without Propinquity - Milton Keynes
It is part of an on-going investigation into art and populations of New Towns around the world, initiated by curator Claire Louise Staunton and Inheritance Projects. During the 2 months, the team of researchers, curators, artists and writers will build an archive of artwork made of New Towns, install an accumulative exhibition, edit and design a publicly available publication, commission 4 new artists works and plan a public symposium.
We don't believe community was ever about propinquity.
More information to come soon...
