Quote
"The laboratory as an atelier: this seems to be one of the paradigms of art and science. “Art” and “science” are two terms that have been juxtaposed way too often, sometimes describing either “creative” science or art only citing scientific elements. This book is far away from these misunderstandings."

"Half-wit, I will conclude. Things to worry about: Worry about courage
Worry about cleanliness
Worry about efficiency
Worry about horsemanship…
Things not to worry about:
Don’t worry about popular opinion
Don’t worry about dolls
Don’t worry about the past
Don’t worry about the future
Don’t worry about growing up
Don’t worry about anybody getting ahead of you
Don’t worry about triumph
Don’t worry about failure unless it comes through your own fault
Don’t worry about mosquitoes
Don’t worry about flies
Don’t worry about insects in general
Don’t worry about parents
Don’t worry about boys
Don’t worry about disappointments
Don’t worry about pleasures
Don’t worry about satisfactions" -

The question we need to ask about the new touring Picasso show (‘Picasso: Challenging the Past’), where Picasso is shown in an old master context (when it was in Paris the audience saw real old masters next to the Picassos; at the National Gallery in London the Picassos are downstairs and the old masters are upstairs) - the question we have to ask is, if it is true that modern art such as Picasso’s is not a sort of punky despairing hollow sad laughter at classicism (as many people used to think), but an attempt to revive and perpetuate great artistic standards and ideals in the face of a sort of guardians-of-culture sector of society’s forgetting of the ideals, and its interest instead in any old visual bullshit and kitsch, then how does that work?

All that is Solid Melts into Air Mark Boulos (via magritte and bos2008)
Artist Mark Boulos works with documentary film to investigate the relationship between ideas, ideology and materiality. In this two channel video installation, the corporate colonisation of Nigerian oil resources frames a clash of cultures and beliefs. Two factions indirectly battle over the control of petroleum. In Chicago, traders speculate on futures, representing a powerful financial and legal abstraction from material commodities. In the Nigerian delta, guerrillas wage war against the corporations that mine and exploit their land. The film focuses on the Ijaw people and the war god Egbisu, who inspires their struggle against foreign companies and their secessionist movement for independence, protecting them from bullets and machetes with charms made of leaves. Through this poetic exploration, contrasted by the religious beliefs of the guerrillas, Boulos investigates the fetishism of the city bankers and reveals the abstract and metaphysical nature of their beliefs.
