Prelude to Minimalism

Agreeing with our earlier assessment as to the nature of Art
in The Art of Minimalism
as:
the annihilation of the Subject
by the nature of its being
a reflection of the Totality

Minimalist Art
is the annihilation of the Subject
(by the nature of its being
a reflection of the Totality)
through the most minimal expression available
to both Artist and Spectator

This presupposes a few things:
1. Minimalist Art is the most minimal expression available
2. This expression must be shared by both Artist and Spectator
3. The minimalist expression is Art

I believe material reality is the Totality of Being
which is to say
The most minimal expression of Material Reality is its Being

The Minimalist Art Object is thus
the expression of its Being in Material Reality

Which is to say
The minimalist expression shared by both Artist and Spectator
is the Being of the Minimalist Art Object in its Material Reality

As such
the Minimalist Art Object is Art
by its annihilation of the Subject
through reflecting the Totality
by its Being in the Material Reality

Every Subject in engaging the Minimalist Art Object
is annihilated by the minimalist expression of (its) Material Reality
as it exists in (its) Totality

The Totality of each Subject's engagement
with the Minimalist Art Object
is (its) Being in (the) Material Reality

Breaking Up The Weeds

For D.

Its time to start throwing things away
again
Its alright with me though
I like it

I'm throwing away mp3s
they don't even take up any real space
I just like weeding out the shit

For the whole of last week
I've been going in alphabetical order
through all of my albums
and only playing the one's
of which I had any doubt
as to their Authenticity

I haven't gotten rid of much
really a few
but its just about making the decision
looking at something with a square eye
determining if its worth a good goddamn
and choosing to
either
take it or leave it

Hearing Only the Frequency

Trust me when I say

that everything I have

is yours

that everything I say

I say to you specifically

Trust me when I say

I will never lie to you

If you ever find yourself

giving into the demands

of an animal

you should reevaluate

your analytical processes

You're better than the animals

You've got to try and believe me

You've got to believe you're better than an animal

You're better than the animals

You've got to try and believe me

Solid Conservative Sentence

What they call classy these days used to pass as common decency.

No Egos

I know that sometimes people
have to talk over me
I'm not yet sure
if its a problem

I'm sure
I've got a streak of  sadomasochism in me
that would make Freud kick a mule
I'm certain all heroes do

It's not a crime to imagine yourself brave
at least not in my book
Courage always Courage
and there is no unsure thing

I believe volume has power too
but not in the way
that preachers on the capital steps
use it

The real thing
is always an unconscious
byproduct of belief
that what one says is right

It's not a crime to believe something is right
not in my book anyway
Righteous always Righteous
and there is no unsure thing
