Sinister: (f)art

[Phong Le (NCS)]

hello

heidegger once wrote that art is truth and compares it
to walking in a forest and suddenly finding yourself
in the middle of a clearing where the sun breaks
through the canopy and warms the ground below. you sit
down for a rest and as the sun's rays cover your body,
you begin to think.  it is this thinking or
'enlightment', that reveals the truth in what we see
and feel.  as it is in art, this truth can be
beautiful or ugly (and can take the form of an unmade
bed or a jar of urine).

i think that it is important for people to express
their opinions but the mail i read from a Curtis Heath
dripped with so much condescension and aggression that
i wonder if curtis was actually trying to get a point
across or to relieve himself from a very bad day...

since i have the floor, i would like to say that i
think art is all around us but good art makes us
linger and think and ultimately reveal more to us.

"nature is a language, can anybody read?"

good night
and
thank you.

UNintentional Playboys
