The Art of Minimalism

The thing I'd like to say about Minimalism is that
it has nothing to do with the quantity of Forms
and everything to do with the space of Conveyance

To get there we have to talk about Art:

Art is centered on the Art Object

It is through the Art Object
that we have any concept of Art at all
which is to say,
Art is the coming-into-being of the Art Object

Due to our Subjectivity
(ourselves as Subject in Relation to the Object)
being mediated by our Consciousness
(our consciousness as the Relation between
Subject and Object)
the Art Object
comes into being
for each Subject
entirely aside from its being in Totality

So,
Art is the coming-into-being of the Art Object
within the Totality
wherein
each Subject, in engaging the Art Object,
subsequently brings the Art Object into being
marked by the consciousness of the Subject

As the marked coming-into-being of the Object
is the Object mediated by consciousness
The marked Object
in the conscious engagement of the Subject
proxies for the Object as it exists in the Totality

In this way
the Subject is barred from perceiving
the Object in Totality
and thereby
Totality itself

For each Subject
their marking of the Art Object
functions as
the coming-into-being of the Art Object

In turn,
these individual markings
are subsumed in the Totality
within which they exist

The Art Object in Totality
subsumes
all markings done thereto

The Art Object in Totality
is the Art Object engaged

In this way,
The Art Object reflects its being in the Totality
and
the Subjective engagement with the Art Object
likewise reflects its being in the Totality
so
the Subjective engagement with the Art Object
reflects the Totality
in revealing the Subject's marking of the Art Object

The revealing of the Subject's marking of the Art Object
is the reflection of the Subject in Totality

The Subject is subsumed in the Totality
for the Totality is, in being Total, all-inclusive
and thereby,
reflects both the Subject and not the Subject
or
the Subject's being and not-being

The Subject then
in engaging Art
engages itself and its negation
and the negation
negates
the Subject is annihilated

Art is the annihilation of the Subject
by the nature of its being
a reflection of the Totality
