LAY BACK. LEAN IN.
writing for Soft Opening, March 2017
Point the finger. Don’t look down. Label it and run away. Colour satisfaction. Reference that thing. Keep it abstract. Be specific. High culture. Low culture. Smash them together. Borrow that part. Pollute that part. Misunderstand on purpose. Undermine, assimilate. Observe. Ignore. Be silly seriously. Be consciously ignorant. Think deeply about cartoons. Confuse surface with symbol. Grin. Interrogate. Go wild. Refine. Get lost. Get found. Get lost. Keep it sloppy. Keep it rigid. Know it all. Know nothing. Make it perfect. Know it can’t be, keep searching. Consume consume consume. Vomit. Never make a concept without an object. Manipulate material, obey material references. Control. Be controlled. Lay back. Lean in. know why it’s important. Know it’s absurd. Make sense. Make nonsense. Absorb. Reference. Re-purpose. Everything is great. Everything is pointless. It’s ok. It means everything. It means nothing. Let’s not take anything too seriously, but we’re deadly serious on that stance. Be flippant. Care a lot.
