>What in the name of convention do you ground this autonomous art on? Nothing.


exactly. but i like nothingness. a zen nothingness, as opposed to a
lack of thing.


I have an answer for you. But it is long, In 4 parts (which I will
cut up for convenience). For us folks that read too much, often the
best road to nothingness is to overstuff the consciousness with
words. So, it's busy doing something trivial while your subconscious
drifts to other things. Yes, language is trivial.

But un-autonomous art has chewed up volumes making its case for the
last 50 years. I'm sick of it, like I would be if you served me
eggplant every single night, with no variations, exceptions or any
drastic deviations allowed for 1826 nights straight. In fact, if the
pizza guy came to the door, by mistake, with olives and anchovies,
his free pie is scoffingly refused. Since it doesn't resemble
eggplant, it simply COULD NOT be dinner. Though, there is excited
fervor that EVERYTHING from big eggplants to small ones, deformed
ones, fat, skinny are considered EGGPLANTS! (How exciting, how
interesting, how altruistic) Is it really an eggplant if you paint
all over it? To "investigate" these profound implications, the
eggplant is painted purple. Then we will hide it cleverly by placing
it in the vegetable aisle at the grocery store. Tee hee. We are so
damn clever.
