The players and the wall/world

Lundi 23 octobre 2006

(note)
October 21th, 2006

For me, creation is a bit like tennis, if one plays with itself, it is the wall/world that sends the ball back, more or less in a good way. If, at the occasion of a meeting, one finds itself facing a good player, who sends back well, seeking for weakness of defence or attack, without hesitating, then as a miracle, one plays like never before. The worse, for me, is when there are absolutely no bounces. The ball is sent and never comes back. While serving in emptiness, one gets exhausted or bored.

Title TK

Lundi 23 octobre 2006

(note) october 20th, 2006

Christophe’s comment: The spirit of the Dump reminds of Thierry Kuntzel’s notebooks, published by Anarchives, Title TK of Anne-Marie Duguet.

It is true that I made myself the remark – discovering these notebooks that are quite fascinating of lucidity – that it was unfortunate that all the concepts, reflexions, that nicely clutter daily paths, had left no traces. Keep the trace, at least for me. In fact, I trust the creativity catalyser of forgetness too often. As shortsightedness, that forces to invent lacking information (in the blur on vision), neglectness forces to rebuild new bricks in deficient memory architecture. Short sightedened and short of memory, I accrue privileges…

Would Thierry have used a blog instead of his notebook, if technology had permitted it at the time?

The-Dump, finally

Lundi 23 octobre 2006

(blog-website) October 19th, 2006

I remained in dissatisfaction, facing the accumulation of projects, knowing that probably some of them would evolve in the usual process, until their realisation…others luckily, by neglect or forgetting, would sink in the depths of the website. This same principle of depot, without any idea sort out, in ranges starting from the most complex to the most indigent, imposes, because of the amount, either to leave time sort out (the ancient articles are certainly the less read), or to introduce the empirical filtrating process for further recycling.
Giving the choice to visitors to grade the projects upon their will, as in the usual blog process implies ones find easily their way through in what we share of medium motivation. The inconvenient would be to think art is democratic, that it can satisfy the consensus, be revelled by audimat. Nevertheless, I have always tested my projects by telling about them, even before any drawing or words had been put down.
So, at least, here, it is the compost more than the vox populi that disintegrates. In this purgatory of ideas, some of them would resist with use, to the dissolution in forgetness of the inferior stratum of the Dump. The Dump, where there would always be curious and volunteer minds to mottle, in the quest for what would have escaped from collective vigilance.
I therefore can consider the projects of the inferior layers would be abandoned to passers by and lingering on projects could develop themselves on the basis of this conceptual dunghill.

Each visitor would have the possibility to click:
- Deep-Dump
- Wait and see
- Keep it
- Should be done

Entering the blog, one could see horizontal lines, stratums, corresponding to the projects. The organisation is not done by chronology anymore, but by reaction classification. The inferior layers are the deep-Dump. Everything is available. Nevertheless, left possible to either pick in it or deliver:
- Keep me posted
- Forget it
- Think about it

Concept Art

Note, Dump structure, artist career design
14th October 2006

The difference between the concept artist and the conceptual artist is that the former does not need to create the artistic projects he designs. The work is the concept, even if it concerns the creation of an object, a material structure or concrete production.

The concept artist produces concepts, catalogues of possible works. It is the absolute virtual production of the work, which might never exist, except in the minds of those who hear about it.
