Sex creates love and love creates sex

Dennis Cooper, Donatien Grau, ...

"I’d rather live in a book"

“I don’t believe in progress, no.”

I think love can take care of itself. It can be a subject in your writing, but love is part of life and writing is part of life. They’re all intermingled. I don’t think there’s a big distinction. I don’t think there’s much of a distinction between love and sex either. Sex creates love and love creates sex.

Simon Critchley

Iggy showed the error of human existence, the breathless nearness of death, and the lure of fun and action. He was like a much better-looking version of Schopenhauer. ABO

“Fuck that thing.” That’s all punk needs.

“The thing about punk is that you’re allowed to talk about anything. Kids can talk about whatever they want. There’s nobody saying, ‘No, you can’t do that, it’s not punk.’”

Über das Denken der Kunst

Von der Kunst als Forschung und der Forschung als Kunst ist spätestens seit den 1990er Jahren die Rede. Das Konzept sucht die Künste und Wissenschaften in ihrer Arbeitsweise einander anzunähern, doch wird dabei kaum die Frage gestellt, welche Art von Wissen die Künste im Unterschied zu den Wissenschaften hervorbringen.

Diagonale du vide

A ghostly France: Emptiness and explosiveness behind the lines.

“If there is an artist capable of making these vacuums speak, it is d’Agata. To show what is not visible, to make present what can not be represented. There is a visual 'spectralism' about Antoine. It is about recording the spasms of humanity that is committing suicide, which has access to all the information needed to know what it is doing, and yet does nothing to revert the trend. We documented this suicide during a week of shared driving, of...
