Een gebed van niks (het verzamelbog van Daan Windhorst)

Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.

I could reblog/post this every day as a constant reminder.

And I’m sticking it up here for people who define the “good” in Make good art in ways that I definitely didn’t intend…

I googled myself and decided this is not a person I want to know.

In het decor stond een heel groot, wit beeld van een neushoorn. Ik vroeg wat die neushoorn daar deed. Hij zei: “ik weet het niet, maar haal hem eens weg en kijk wat je over houdt.”

Hij maakte een gebaar met zijn armen. “Niks toch?”
