I pretty much agree with most of them.
I LOVE TO PRODUCE MY WORK!
• To not produce or to refuse to do something, or to not participate, can be as important as doing something. As an artist I have to confront this question every day. It is necessary to know what to produce and to decide to produce or not. It is not necessary to publicise not producing – to do so is defensive or selfish, and for sure, narcissistic. Because to produce – to produce a work – requires commitment.
• To produce a work means giving form – and giving form is the essential in Art.
• To produce means establishing one’s own vocabulary, creating a new language in Art.
• To produce means to establish a critical corpus.
• To produce – to produce in headlessness – makes it possible to face and withstand the sense of ridiculousness that is inevitable when making a new form.
• To produce means to resist – through production – the dictatorship of comments, facts and opinions.
• To produce - to produce relentlessly - means resisitng cynicism and defeatism, to be free from focussing on the reception of the work, to not communicate 'about' the work nor to disseminate information around it.
• To produce means building a resistance to capitalization, correctness, manipulation, and calculation – which is what consumption is based upon.
• To produce means to create the conditions for implying a non-exclusive audience. It’s only by accepting that a work is produced with lack and errors that one has the power to include ‘the other’.
• To produce means to understand Art as an assertion, as a statement, as an act of emancipation, and as something that I authorise myself to do.
• To produce a work gives a chance to touch Truth.
