The
Pattern of the Plans and The Lack of Plan Plan
Opening:
Friday 4 November 2004, 7-9pm
5 November-5 December 2004
The
dark meta-narrative of the anticipation of retribution and endgames
of maximal defection taps upon my universal quivering curatorial
inner oyster to stand up and to sing ‘The Love of the Grandchildren’-
a song to soothe our unease with Proposal- that we may reap the
benefit of our ease with Critique. The first refrain:
“Critique
is the Past Tense of Proposal”
IF
If
Worms Establish Interior Traction on that string of soil/experience
on which they are a fleshy tube, and thereby pull themselves forward,
and can serve both as our basic model of artificer, and also in
the modeling of that momentum of culture from one order/disorder
to the next
If Culture has manifested this momentum in historical
time by passing out- into name- “what we are not now”
as it moves forward to the dragging in from the future of yet
another name in the- thusly made- chain of names
If Artists, in the production of their work, drag down
what was hanging oppressively in the ethers, and give it a name
we can behold
If The Great Rearangements of Matter have been concomitant
with the naming of new and knowable Rights
If Rights are highly concentrated names for the vast infrastructural
prerequisites to the exercise of a Right: If the declaration of
‘the Right to shelter’ is a statement of intent to find
or to build shelter
If Economies have elaborated through the production of
those structures and things that enable the exercise of a Right
(whether unspoken or formally named)
If The Fatty-Black-Water-Fired Economy- of which we are
a part- has lost its traction on reality because it has thus far
failed to name the next set of Rights, despite a great hunger
for the new economies into which they could be elaborated
If Cynicism is a viscero-economic discomfort with that
loss of traction and momentum concomitant with the retention of
a thoroughly named order/disorder equation
If Dedicated Defection from an Order to its Disorder becomes
deleteriously expensive in highly elaborated orders
If We Have Come to this high-resolution vantage point
in the post-modern foothills, having unfurled a replicating molecule
and dragged in an image of the earth from space.
If The God-Mathematical Productive Anarchy of Human Activity
has made patterns on the earth, which look like crudely mimicked
organs- where by organ we mean any of the vast number of formalized,
benneffectively contingent, and accommodating economies comprising
the body.
If At Points of Highly Elaborated Social Economy, in cultures
of any of the 5 absolute scales of life form, the activity of
individuals seeking satisfaction of their personal hungers, begins
to make a discernable meta-pattern, which anticipates the ‘skinning-in’
of these individual hungers at the next absolute scale of life
form.
If It Is More Elegant that the advent of human reason
should come to consciously continue this process (which produced
it), not in the manner of “Biological Determinism”,
but in the manner of “Avante Gardening of the God Maths Along
Analogy Maps”
If An ‘Ultimate Cell’ or ‘Ultimate Human’
seeks the satisfaction of their individual hunger in a culture
of cells or humans,
If A ‘Super-Cell’ is a member of the diverse
community of ‘super-cells’ that comprise a human body,
and is in possession of a dense chain of names (DNA), which can
be elaborated into the organ economies that enable the cells to
experience hunger and seek satiety at the scale of whole human.
If A ‘Super-Human’ will one day be, a member
of the diverse community of ‘super-humanity’, all of
whom will be in possession of a dense chain of names (Rights),
which can be elaborated into the World Organ Economies that enable
them to experience hunger and seek satiety at the glorious scale
of whole world.
If recognition of endpoint changes Momentum into
Trajectory.
Then
Then
‘The Pattern of the Plans and The Lack of Plan Plan’
is an experiment towards the development of a syntax that can
name the next, experiential rights, in the spirit of furthering
a trajectory whose advancement is measured by new traction/names
for the pattern of the phenomenal.
The
Pattern of the Plans and The Lack of Plan Plan
---- An Experiment in 4-Dimensional Syntax in Porcelain and
Steel ---
Wherein the artists produce 3-d vocabulary in porcelain and a
2-d etymological facet, and together, elaborate a syntax in the
manner of a drawing in steel, which holds the vocabulary in spatio-temporal
relationship to each other and to the viewer.
