When I’m writing, sometimes it gets to that place where I feel like the piece is writing itself and I’m trying not to get in the way.
(John Zorn)
“There is a fullness and calmness there which can come only from knowing pain.”
(Dan Simmons, Hyperion)
“I took inspiration from Andy Warhol‘s “Empire,” his “unwatchable” 24-hour film of the Empire State Building. Similarly, imagine a book that is written with the intention not to be read. The book as object: conceptual writing; we’re happy that the idea exists without ever having to open the book.”
(UNCREATIVITY AS A CREATIVE PRACTICE)
“The world is full of objects, more or less interesting; I do not wish to add any more.”
(Kenneth Goldsmith, Uncreative Writing: Managing Language in the Digital Age)

Oh I haven’t seen that one, he did a version of the Tempest which is well worth seeing, also a film on Punk rock (loosely) called Jubilee X, but his film “Blue” is most like the Warhol film, I haven’t seen it for quite a while myself, but it was a similar circumstance in that allot of people told me it was unwatchable so when I saw it I was pleasantly surprised!

Yes, why not see it that way! He made some glorious statements, he was such an interesting character to study – I saw a documentary on his life a while ago, very interesting, I see him as a victim of his own success, that side of fame makes me sad 😦 Of course, life is so much better than a series of images that change as they repeat themselves! His statement there sounds to me more “half empty than half full” One could say life is a series of ever widening possibilities or something! 🙂

I have to confess I can’t remember which of the Warhol films I saw, there were some of the social gathering ones with interesting characters like Ultra Violet & others, and there were some of street scenes and something or other going on that touched me – I liked some of his early work, I don’t think he ever did anything I totally disliked, just the quantity of it and the focus on manufacturing that bored me, and the dreadful millionaires that follow him put me off!

It was probably the films themselves – I guess the first time I became aware of Warhol was with the Campbell’s soup things, as a student interested in expressionist painting styles, Warhol wasn’t exactly my inspiration! I certainly liked the films (when I saw them later), the loose style and attention to apparently minor inconsequential detail, I liked the characters around him, the way the hangers on added to the “scene” and the whole Warhol phenomenon – I’m sure there were other things about his work I liked, not so much from the finished objects – as the films of him working and his attitude and opinions, which were interesting, if a bit sardonic! Yes, I can’t think of any one piece I love, but I have seen a few items which struck a chord, I have seen worse and better 🙂

Yes, thats for sure! I was a screen printer before I got into art, it was my job, printing stickers, signs, clothing, posters, all sorts of stuff, it was creative, but you were restricted to doing what you were told to do, so when I started doing art, I wanted to do something practically the opposite of “useful” I was so tired of churning things out, I wanted to find something inside myself you see?
There was a thing on TV about Pop art yesterday, I don’t know if you can view it in your country, but ti was interesting! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b067ftp7/soup-cans-superstars-how-pop-art-changed-the-world

Yes, I like technical stuff, but real world work is better I think, print outs don’t have texture like paintings or even drawings, I do a bit of everything when I can 🙂
