I am privileged
I am not afraid of sweat
I am not afraid of aesthetics
I am not afraid of friends
I am not afraid of enemies
I am not afraid of concepts
I am not afraid of touch
We are not afraid of third parties
We are not afraid of your opinions
I am not afraid of the little, cold hand of the 70's
I am not afraid of the financial ruin of the 80's
I am not afraid of aging in the 90's
Because I'm for getting it wrong
Because I'm for trying it out
Because I'm for direct contact
Because I'm for the flicker in the eye that meets mine
Because I'm for other people
Because we are for unsettling ourselves
Because we're for enlightened rulers
Because I'm for rebellion against various firsts and seconds
Because I'm for lived counter-models
Because I'm for new models
Because I'm for individual mythologies
Because I'm for human rights
Because I'm for structuralism
Because I'm for the Eastern,the Western, the Nordic and the Mediterranean, the ephemeral and the ethereal
Because I'm for poetry and passion
Because I'm for posing
Because I'm for selection
Because I'm against selection
Because I'm for complexity
Because I'm for my simple nature for which everything seems possible
Because I'm for the utopia of the new
Because I'm for hope
Because I'm for questioning the concept of property
Because I'm for the disruption of questioning through the arresting of ideas
Because I'm for the duality of meanings
ergo the local
ergo the regional
ergo the national
ergo the international
Because I'm for anarchy that denies the artist
Because I'm for the artist that cultivates anarchy
Because I'm for the denial of decision
Because I'm for the affirmation of this refusal
Because I'm for open-ended situations
Because I'm against the gravity of property,veto, taboo
Hold on a minute
Are you holding anything back?
I'm holding my position for the ambush which is art
I am privileged because I am dependent and yet independent
Because I have a moral vein and yet have none
Because I am afraid and yet not afraid
Because I am a daredevil
But I don't want to hurt anyone
Because I have faith that things that aren't right reduce themselves to absurdity above all in my own case
i am privileged because i can call this moral/ethical conscience my own and because everything is not so very simple
Amen
H Szeemann speaks
a seedling amen
