PILE OF PAPER WHERE SHOULD IT GO???

Where oh where should it goooooooooo? What is it about???????????????? not being clever enough to think of good ideas. Not wanting to be evaluated. Is it a comment on art? I think so but it might be a comment on me. how self obsessed. It would not be very good in the hospital because people would have more important issues like dying so would not really care if i cant think of good ideas. In fact nobody really cares about that except me. Which means i'm the only audience oh dear. Maybe it should go on my bedroom floor where i can tread on it and spill coffee on it and then the bugs can go and live in it. Maybe it is a comment on having to have good ideas. Which would maybe be intresting to other people who dont have good ideas but feel like they should. WHere is a place where lots of people feel like they should have good ideas but dont? here probably i mean the art college. Is it just the teachers who expect us to have good ideas? or society or something. Or just art society. Or just myself. And who decides what ideas are good? maybe i should put it in a pile on the floor and then every one can spill whatever they like on it or even set it on fire. Then I could start an insect collony in it. Well what i mean is that it should probably go in the Art college not the hospital.

  1. This is where it gets interesting. You are touching on what are called 'performative' issues. By thinking about your 'role' as an artist and the expectations others have of you in that role, you could start to 'perform' out your life as an artist. Richard Schechner has written a very good book on Performance theory, a bit heavy going but there are some nuggets in there.
