utilizes art to institutionalize what is a personal experience.

"Creating art entrains access to higher states of consciousness. Much of the pain and crisis that artists experience is due to the collision-encounters with "gross mind" that attempting to remove the hinderances to inspiration entail. Creating is humbling because it is only when we surrender the over-managing, controlling, devising mind that something greater can manifest. Our personal mark as artists is not something we control but is an emergent property of our whole being, like the timbre of our song. It is analogous to pregnancy and birth. In art, we nurture the seeds of inspiration, but we cannot determine the overall form. Something happens to the artist, analogous to sex, pregnancy and birth.

Ego, or gross mind, does its invaluable work as part of the organic whole when it exists in balance, when we are not living within it, but beyond it in the state of open-system or soul level flow. What Mahayana Buddhism calls "Gross Mind" then finds its balance, not as the consummate, peak-operating level of what we are, but as one subsystem or faculty within the much larger reality of the transpersonal, inter-relating, mutually arising organic space-time soul fractal."

"There is a missing text and a translation, there is an order, a list, there is a picture and a place from which to read it"



Despierto, miro por la ventana y el paisaje no me dice nada, las reproducciones en las revistas tampoco, la televisión nacional es espantosamente mala.
Me siento en la conputadora y descubro unas frases de Jan Dibbets>

"I start by thinking I am going to make use of all possibilities without troubling any longer about problems when something starts to be art. I don't make the ETERNAL work of ART, I only give visual information."

Para Kosuth el arte tambien es información visual, el resultado de investigaciones ideas proposiciones etc que finalmente define como informacion visual manejada por artistas VIVOS en un periodo de tiempo determinado.
La no creencia de Kosuth en la figura del artista como un sumo sacerdote o medico brujo, shaman, etc lo convirtio en uno.
