Panic will strike the artistic establishment when they begin to realize that the very foundation of their discourse might disappear.
The meta-avant-garde keeps playing a primitive and confused binary game just to have something to analyze. Art vs. anti-art, form vs. anti-form, object and/or concept, pops and/or ops, material and/or immaterial, clean and/or raw, zones of maximums and/or minimums. It’s exhausting.
Instead: the binary blown apart by a militancy of presence. Works that require nothing to be said about them in the moment, except that they are. Painting as pure visuality of painting: simply to exist before the viewer. And thus, for the first time, to say — objectively and empirically, without metaphysical tricks: “it is painting,” the same way one says “it’s fucking hot.” A painting that no longer depends on the logic of the concept, but on the physical persistence of what survives manipulation or erosion. Like a war- machine: articulating while disarticulating.
Is it fight and it is peace.
And you ain’t in the game till you make 1000 songs
