Essays on the blurring of art and life

I fredags ägnade vi förmiddagen åt Allan Kaprows Essays on the Blurring of Art and Life.


ART ART.    NONART.    ANTIART.    UNART.


Context rather than category. Flow rather than work of art.

När konst bara är en av flera möjliga funktioner en situation kan ha
förlorar den sin privilegierade status.

The experimental artist today is the un-artist. Not the antiartist but the artist emptied of art. the un-artist started out as a modernist, but at a certain point began divesting her or his work of nearly every feature that could remind anyone of art at all. The un-artist makes no real art but does what I've called lifelike art, art that reminds us mainly of the rest of our lives.

Artist of the world, drop out! You have nothing to lose but your profession!

Ja. Ungefär så.
Jag får fundera lite till.
