The artist remains the artist precisely in so far as he rejects the simplifying and reducing process of the average man who at an early age puts Life away into some snug conception of his mind and race. This one turns the key. He has released his will and love from the vast Ceremonial of wonder, from the deep Poem of Being, into some particular detail of life wherein he hopes to achieve comfort or at least shun pain. Not so, the artist. In the moment when he elects to avoid by whatever makeshift the raw agony of life, he ceases to be fit to create. He must face experience forever freshly: reduce life each day anew to chaos and remould it into order. He must be always a willing virgin, given up to life and so enlacing it. Thus only may he retain and record that pure surprise whose earliest voicing is the first cry of the infant.

Book Building of the Day: As part of a local children’s book fair, Slovakian artist Matej Kren was invited by the Museum of Modern Art in Bologna to install a massive fortress composed of thousands upon thousands of books.
The piece — “Scanner” — is meant to evoke “a sensation of sublime terror, an alteration referring to a puzzling infinity itself created to destabilize conventional spatial habits.”
Uh… What he said.

Well, I rush into your hallway
Lean against your velvet door
I watch upon your scorpion
Who crawls across your circus floor
Just what do you think you have to guard?
You know I want your lovin’
Honey, but you’re so hard.

Monica Bonvicini, Light Me Black, 2009, Fluorescent lights, metal fixture, steel supporting structure, electric cables, 2 breakers, chains, Approx. 160 x 550 x 140 cm.
The Berlin Gallery Weekend is approaching and I am browsing spaces online as to organize my itinerary and put together my first article for the Huffington Post. Bonvicini is opening at Galerie Max Hetzler and her show is on the list. Not that I am into fluorescent lights, steel and smashed bits.
