To All,
I am reading the posts backwards - it seems the thing to do for me tonight.
Re: aletaoric
"The composer John Cage is particularly noted for this technique, and traces of
it can be found in the work of numerous artists within his circle (e.g.,
Robert Rauschenberg, Naim June Paik, Jim Dine, etc.)."
I have never had brunch with John Cage, although I fervently wish I had,
however, I did read this by Cage about Rauschenberg's White Paintings, writen
late in 1953. (Ahhhh, minimalism, yes, I am a fan, doesn't bear the hand of
the artist, or does it?) (please note, there are tabulations after the first
line 'To whom' but prob'ly won't show up on fluxlist.)
To whom
No subject
No image
No taste
No object
No beauty
No message
No talent
No technique (no why)
No idea
No intention
No art
No feeling
No black
No white (no and)
"After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that there is
nothing in these paintings that could not be changed, that they can be seen in
any light and are not destroyed by the action of shadows."
