The Wrong Places. A text by Miwon Kwon I encountered this short text while being in motion, somewhere between plains, trains, buses, and taxis. I guess I was hectically trying to cover my daily reading once I encounter this perl. I believe it was shared with me by one of my colleagues from Inland Academy. It was good timing for me to encounter this text - it has great insights into the way one's relation to his/her/their practice within the professional art field is created within capitalism. In this text, one will find genuine insights from a curator on the way living in the contemporary feels like. Curators discuss her own relationship to time, body in motion, and how she feels the professional art field inflicts certain emotions that become the driving force for operating. While thinking of her thoughts, I am wondering about existential questions one may have in regards to the practice that one is following: what is the value of what I am doing and for whom? Can I change the way I operate and what is the price of it? What is needed to day and who is in charge of my decisions. It is a wonderful short text that I invite you to contemplate together. | |||

http://artandcrap.com/ensayos/ursula-k-le-guin-being-taken-for-granite/ Ursula K. Le Guin ~ Being taken for granite I appreciate this text because of its simple but really precise way of writing, in between colloquial language and prose poetry, using rhythm and repetition, playing with words. I like the way Le Guin thinks her mind, body and mud through matter and translating it into word-matter, using humour while taking it really seriously. I also like the way it is built, like a 'loop', starting with "Sometimes I am taken for granite." and ending with "Do not take me for granite". It' giving me this impression of forming this object 'text', reminding me of the way the object 'book' was described in The New Art of Making Books by Ulises Carrión. I am now thinking how to have a permeable and porous way of apprehending research through the medium of writing, and how to talk about science while staying sensitive. | ||
