One thing I do find problematic, is the distinction you create between art and design,
"a
sense of finality or completeness to the whole", because, as I've
elaborated on somewhere else, there is a difference in kind between the
materials that support a work of art, such as paint, canvas, film,
stone, sound-waves, textiles etc. and the work itself. Art only
attempts to fashion a material object, having a finite duration, so as
to create being of sensation, which is preserved in itself for an
eternity that coexists with the short duration of material. This bloc
of sensations, standing up alone or positing itself, contains the
working, sensation, and forces of the work. Even with the suggested
finite materials that supports paintings, sculptures, etc., they can
indeed become "a very real and dynamic sense of continuous potential
and unfolding".

I anticipated you would catch me on this, which is why I used "work
of Art," in the sense of institutionally-defined object, rather than
art as practice or process. I agree with you that individual art
objects can have this potential, but i think the categorization by
institutions of art as "Art," undermines the extent to which works can
actually be experienced in the way you are describing. There is
something about design, imo, which resists this categorization, perhaps
because of its intimacy with the body.

But I am very OT. [:$]

I
do like that Judith quote a lot, by the way, although I fear you could
repeat it endlessly and have it fall on deaf ears....[79]

Yes in that sense, attaching the "in the sense of institutional-defined object", I think we're on the same page,

because in the moment that the work of art reterritorializes itself on these categories or discourses,

we're indeed undermining the work of art's potential to cut a cross [51] ...

You're starting to sound like Sokal! [74]

One must listen(read) carefully before opens ones mouth,

and importantly pay attention to details ...

Even the text can be multiple!

"hard work and humility"(Laika)

And what on earth made you come and make this post here?

The actual post you're referring to is not insight and the

subject of your post has nothing to do with this thread at all!

One can only imagine and assume [79] ...

Johnny if you really want to discuss this,

please go to the appropriate thread and post, and
please bring some arguments with you, or else it's
gonna get really tiresome rather quickly and embarrassing,
not to say!

Mads, you are my knight in fluid, flowing and shining armour! [64]

I think Johnny was trying to break up the tense mood by being funny rather than challenging, and his post was quite brilliant in that respect! [74]

But I agree wholeheartedly that one needs to bring some arguments to the table to have any sort of serious discussion, and your post certainly deserves that. [51]

Re: Your Style Philosophy



Yes, and I might just have achieved the opposite, bringing the tension back [74] ...

[51]

But to somehow bring this back on topic ...

Yes, you're indeed a poet of huge proportions, but ...

There's just one thing, Dude.
And what's that?
Do you have to use so many cuss words?
What the fuck you talking about?
Okay, Dude. Have it your way.

Rimbaud, Bitch!

Re: Your Style Philosophy



In the past year and a half my personal style has taken some twists and turns, but the thing I could never get away from was being uncomfortable in suburban or rural settings. I guess the power of location and its effect on ease of style took a while for me to realize.

Sadly, I don't think that many of the designers we follow on SZ work for me (with the exception of Yohji). While I tried going down a different route I never felt completely comfortable in certain clothes, whereas my recent path seems to make complete sense to me.

I give you guys props who don't live in cities but still maintain a more "avant-garde" profile. I tried but couldn't fully commit.

I myself follow the SZ law of dressing mainly in black, and, in order to invoke that discursive formation as a naturalized foundational premise that subsequently legitimates that law's own regulatory hegemony, I frequently peruse the pages of SZ.
