6/11_p2
the sun comes out after a rainy morning — resolutions of what I should do Ryman’s work day — I note artist’s working methods — hours in the studio scattered works — unfinished realities — the house seems a detriment time wise but has given me a lot of insight into materials etc — how to use insights materials etc
vague ideas concrete ideas
ideas that simply need to be carried out
psychophrenia of different possibilities —
Pound Cantos I glance at — layers of knowledge toward what
matters of ... importance? — irrelevance?
words of
graphics program — Art News <?> — a few lines here and there — the same sounds — forever —
cars — a bathroom fan (which Kim shuts off as I write that) — emphasizing the sound of the birds —
Robert Ryman stares at me in a distorted perspective — something that can’t be conveyed —
cover of Artnews — looking up at a camera which is not eye — I meets eyes that see a camera not me —
first words on a white page exploration of white — the empty ground — surface —
(actually there was already a page number)
Zagreus Zagreb
transform poetry to pattern
knowledge — transformation
Zagreb — a city — where — knowledge and lack of knowledge —
(a series of cantos I thought of before — this could be one)
(establish a rhythm) — lines of knowledge — Conducting Bodies
maps mapping
triangles
meandering rivers
a map Finn’s wake
water
words
PM finished Art News started Artforum
idea for overlay writing while reading Hofstadter this week and when I first read Gödel, Escher, Bach
book format as reduction of the actual work — obsession (not really) with the complete portrayal of the self —
an exact duplication of my life ideas from reading on Le Gac <?> — repetition —
to take one black and white pattern and repeat it for the rest of my life — only paint it in various formats
to take one page of text and make variations on it without writing another —
ideas I won’t carry out — I don’t have any dedication to the task which will possibly keep me from ever being an artist
