BUZZER THIRTY, NEW YORK (US)
My work examines and speaks of interrelationships – professional and personal, public and private. Everything in this biographical story can be interpreted through degrees of seeing, through the following text:
……my ship was sailing merrily on its way. On it, I was without any doubt sailing towards my highest goals.
What happened?
A misfortune?
My ship run aground, collided with a rock…the rock was Ivana. I was shipwrecked on the opposite view of the world. What did Ivana bring to my art? Optimism. I was embarrassed. It was moreover optimism for which Ivana had an ugly designation – “optimism without smell”. I was embarrassed again. I thought about it for a long time. My situation was hopeless…
In the end, the rock I run aground on?!!
If I interpret it as the destination, as the meaning of this voyage?
To stumble on it….that is THE destination.
I underline this observation:
My art is ailing. The problems I perform, hysterical problems – the compulsion of my effect, my irritated sensibility, my taste always in search of spicier and spicier spices, my instability masked into principles…And because nothing is more contemporary than this, – my generalized disease, overly irritated nervous machinery – I am a contemporary artist (contemporary cagliostro).
