Guy: I don't believe in magic, what is the point of
hanging pictures?
Saliva: He probably has never visited the Simulation
Louvre!
Eva: I would like to hear more from him. Don't you fre-
quent the Reverse Alternator Art Mart Of Newism,
now it is even available on cd-rom!
Guy: I would like to hear more from the artists.
Video: Life is already an interactive cd-rom, forget
computers. I do not create except for the absolute
positing of a visual, dialectic space, as a teleological
suspension of the ethical, within the foundations pre-
scribed by the juncture of doxaletheic functions and
paranoia critical.
Apollo: True, but it is imperative to never like one's
materials.
Eva: Never use the word 'like' in the art world!
Video: And never to believe in the blind forces of
nature.
Guy: Is it not sufficient to go into the mountains, and
look at scenery? Why make pictures?
Slip: This is ridiculous, art has its own history and
convolutions, it is not merely a recreation of the sub-
lime, memorable, or magical world of nature!
Apollo: All you can think of is the next Grant! If there
is an ounce of content in any show you curate, it is
only because someone mistook the thermostat for an
art object, and your nose is as stuck in it as it is in the
political machinery you operate!
Harmonius: You misinterpret good intentions, my
dear Apo, give him a break. It is up to us to re-evalu-
ate their stance in relation to new morphogenetic
fields, exorcising the old ones as time unfolds.
Eva: Art is an experience, whether or not it becomes a
museum piece, is destroyed and forgotten, or ends up
in a private collection.
Harmonius: Well said, but are these criteria enough?
Why do we do it at all?
Video: Why do we never opt for not making art youmean?
Yen: That's where the rest of us come in.
Apollo: Hoarders! How is it that three entire genera-
tions of artists, historians, collectors,etc., managed to
fool the public into the sham premises of a new, a
post-modernist, process art, I don't know.
Eva: Would you keep your work to yourself?
Apollo: Art should never be shown.
Saliva: Right, and then say goodbye to elegant ideas,
and beautiful surroundings.
Lira: And goodbye to evolution, nature is already
there.
Apollo: Evolution, what do you gallerists know about
evolution!
Harmonius: That is irrelevant, artists are morally
obligated to engage the highest principles.
Slip: But they need guidance. Artists are automati-
cally superficial.
Eva: And you are there, leading the way, I suppose?
Slip: I am not supposing anything, we live in an irre-
versible, absolute realm, despite tenacious imperma-
nence.
Video: Tenacious impermanence, only you would
match such words!
Slip: And artists are generally prone to disregarding
fundamentals.
Eva: And you think you own the creative process.
Yen: I'd like to hear from Guy again.
Guy: This is quite fun, your activities are so premedi-
tated!
Video: The impartial observer!
Slip: Yes?
Eva: Whatever happened to serendipity?
Saliva: And hearts in the right places?
Apollo: What would you know about that? YouArtLiee 11 1 -- June - September 1990
