done vacation — back to reality — a horrible morning — reality — there is not alternative reality — lynch — evil alternative reality — this reality is evil — evil is defined beyond god and ethics — ethics exists inside of evil not as an alternative

toward the end of art — last rites — morbidity - decadence — <?> — museum shops — commodities — how long will museums last — i feel some sort of movement away — some realization that art is no longer relevant — that eyes should look somewhere else — (elsewhere — i don’t like the word ‘nowadays’)

consider the museum experience — what is seen — the scene — my experiences — what i like —
i don’t like post-modernism but i like theories like crimp’s — the art is wrong —

the fact that there is art is wrong —
the fact that there is something — anything — is wrong —

nirvana would be the complete end of the universe and everything in it —


(a lot of notes on douglas crimp in the greyhound book — the book will mostly have to be read again — i don’t have a book database or a quote database except what was retrieved from filemaker —


can i go on with the book work — should i [even try]

to remodel the book — reconstruct
deconstruct

no continuity
no sentence / paragraph structure
no definitive arrangement

page or section based on structure
photo elements
illustrations & backgrounds —
artworks — examples + a section on visual art


take apart text
take apart art
take apart image


quotes & notes on books

the form is more important than the content
good content is everywhere — good form almost nowhere
i dislike most of the few attempts at form
