Waiting for Our Wits
“The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.”
- Eden Phillpots
“Glorious job”
From Paul Thek’s 1973 notebook:
“We must discover WHY we are really painting, really WHY… painters are priests… IT IS A GLORIOUS JOB + WE… TRY ALWAYS HARDER + ALWAYS WE KNOW IT IS NEVER ENOUGH…”
Via: Artforum, January 2011, pg 167.
Being in the world is making a world
“According to Santiago’s theory, cognition is not a representation of an independent, pregiven world but rather a bringing forth of the world. What is brought forth by a particular organism in the process of living is not the world but a world, one that is always dependent on the organism’s structure.”
Fritjof Capra, “Web of Life“, pg. 270
