a
just pictures
manifesto

one vintage print to rule them all

the work will stare at you and say
well?

a minimalism that makes you
think of the hole in the wall

explores notions
shifts perspectives
upsets expectations

subverts inverts interrogates mines challenges questions deploys

apparently

gravity goes like thisstruggle

use uniformity
to confuse potential

not so much mastery
but processing

halfway

what would a tourist do

conceptual

no bullshit   —— + ——   no bullshit

sensual

to shed light on an
image saturated world
or simply add to it

special fx

name it after the teacher
who said don't do it that way

appropriation

art is easy except
for the law degree

you have to be okay with the ones
that hang around looking useless

momentuhmmm

programming or code
as gestural device

the caves of last co.

a drawing and a photograph
walk into a bar

mixed media

my new album
as pencil drawing

money dignifies
what is frivolous if
unpaid for^**Virginia Woolf

One-hundred-and-six
thematically stitched triptychs
of various sizes and styles titled
Art and the Acquired
Ability to Believe

i neon
you neon
she neons
he neons
we neon
they neon

searching for the lines

an artist who works exclusively
with ball and chain

research dignifies
what is unserious if
stumbled upon

*what makes a star a star
or an asterisk, for that matter

wonder about impulse
and qualities

good i ruined it

digital process

the calculator app

choice or configuration

blue or yellow

rand function or i-ching

beware of ideas that
run ahead of execution

my kid could do that
(of course your kid could do that)

some deep
think tank

on size

at some point you get the picture

the thing as evidence
of its own making

spilling coffee

things that work right away then fade
things that don’t work at first then grow
things that work and remain
things that never work

(there are)
many configurations

stop thinking things like
ocean cloud shark flower

intermission

postmodernism

shake the letter a
out falls the letter b

you tend to do early
what you will a lot more later
(your passion is already there)

what can be said
about a chair in drawing it
that can't be said with a photo

ok yeah that

when the lights are off
and the gallery is closed
is a shadow inevitable
if the object is specific

pattern complexity ambience
calm chaos (busy) uniformity/regularity
peace enigmatic meaningless
regular non-relational (stella)

unfinished

in put in put in
put in put in put
in put in put in
put in put in put

put out put out put

put out put out put

put out put out put

somewhat superstitious is okay

mysticism stinks

material

different lengths
of silence or blank paper
or an unending scream

make it
don't plan it

painting
contemporary
tradition
modern
fetish
the mark

cy not sigh

postmodernism as a way
to talk yourself out of it

it's the tiny flourishes
and the broad field

bonus

name it without
giving it a title

museum security

move along folks
nothing to see here

my kid could do that
(i'm not a parent)

a place to play

don't repeat
yourself

use consistency
to direct attention

5 year plan

working in series

call in a continuity expert

a way to get things
on the same surface

variable-width masking tape corrects
persistent sense of perspective

not to render
nor interpret

identify primitives

if it covers it's
wallpaper unless
it's paint

the self is in the sensibility
it doesn't need to talk

more confounded furniture

craft
entertainment
decoration
luxury goods

idea or balloon

you've got to enter
the unknown often

conceptual art is
a combination tone

your confusion as feature

expanded practice
rooted practice
contemporary practice
practice practice

waiting

black outlines are easy

do as little as possible

clutter is the same as no focus

chaos breeds images^**Francis Bacon

adjust desire for perfection

text with
out hand
writing or
de sign

pile of dead

have a plan so you're doing something
when the other thing happens

emerging art fizzes
when you open it

explain what it is you do
while not thinking about it
while you do it

resist the urge to catalog

manifesto×

document-like
no spectacle
leave no trace
poetic

art can be anything

people paint because they like painting

the
a bunch of
unfinished
lines×

the artist went out
into the expanded field
and moved the fence
closer to the house

don't repeat
yourself

sub-pseudo-sub-sub-counter-anti-cultural investigations

rough patch morale

somehow
split
down
the
middle

on formal concerns in visual art

“please tell mr. jagger
i am not maurits to him”
— m.c. escher

the artist as project manager
process as product development
experimentation as r&d

the wall above
the couch in
the livingroom

untitled is to visual art what
show don't tell is to fiction

another irony of
material and message

when you have to tell
them which way is up

an artist who works exclusively
with the middle finger

sincere apologies
for not making
more art recently

minimal because
grander ideas fail us

practice the virtue
of the momentum
of practice

studio assistants as doping

we are the pointillists

resistance is futile

people make pictures
not rules

either
either

museum is an office building

vatican is a cash register

missed opportunity
(this earth, this card)

no demonstrable
need for any of it

the extract repressionists

collage aesthetic

that germane writer with
migrants named ceviche

mostpardonism

on the state of the art of the state
of the art of the state of the art
of the state of the art of the state

olnley
lonely

street still life as
geometric abstraction
by way of minimal
process aesthetic
