6/9

<9/2/21 had crossed out the first line>

make a note of ‘work’
night shift at work — perhaps I can do some writing here — even a half hours could help

feel the need to write a theoretical approach to art — relation to hardware and software approach

conceptual art constructive art

(desire for a gallery of electronic art])
reading book on sculpture (J. Burnham Beyond Modern Sculpture)
I often have to react but can’t really write a book as a reaction to another — pull bits and pieces together —

what I agree with — what I disagree with

synthesis antithesis

<i> like certain works — dislike others — each makes his own dichotomy — black and white don’t apply (works that I like but shouldn’t fascinate me — Frank Gallo for example) — the difference between what I like and what I like to do — <my> inability to analyze — the book I’m reading — the use of generalization by the author (should I quote?) (can’t find one) — self conscious attitude toward the book (I’m writing) — the old questions — vague terms of art criticisms — time to throw most of them out
a series of essays on art —

possibilities etc — proposals

lack of hope for the future — the survivors — more and more it looks like destruction is on the way — the blending of politics and art — the blending of artistic writing with writing on art

spirals inside of spirals — book keeps approaching itself no matter where I start

beginning after beginning

getting away from what I want to write
art and the future — the place of the object — the object and the idea — computer art

multiplication and replication

the proper environment (can these be expanded) — I like museums
the proper place for some art — the private collection

the display
the contemplation

music — program art — video art
