Creation and Continuity

From cave painting, totemism to pop, ART has always been the means by/through which a given ‘reality’ is created or re-arranged according to the will/desire/needs of the artist.

Who is it that declares ART today? Everyone is an artist and everything, including murder and war is Art!

Relinquish nothing – effect everything.
Relinquish nothing – effect everything.

War is the Art of violent imbeciles but it is art nevertheless. An existing relatively peaceful world has recently been re-arranged by murder artists and today we all have a new reality, one transformed by the art of lies and the implements of war! The methods of altering a given reality have never changed only the means (mass media) of delivery change. It would be well that everyone becomes familiar with the means and ends of ‘ART’.

Everything produced is Art, every act/thought is art, therefore everyone is an artist – there are no degrees of excellence in this appreciation.

Pure desire evades commodification; the artist is/becomes a cultural evolutionary.

Bush & Co. produce the art of death, blood, theft and pollution; counter it IF YOU WILL with the ART of PEACE, LIFE and HARMONY. Every gesture and word against Bush helps to eliminate his reality from the ‘canvas’ of our lives. In this process those who choose Life, Peace and Harmony endure as the majority; however, active engagement must necessarily follow choice.

Religionists are in love with death, they pursue it with the fervour of those frightened to live the life offered by infinite creation – they in fact refuse universal creation and cling to their perversities -- religion is the art of fear induction and maintenance! Theirs is the art of fearing the natural world and all that it offers. Religionists fear the beauty and love inherent in creation and the natural world and seek to destroy, murder and replace natural harmony with their art of death, pollution and destruction. A hellish world is offered to replace paradise. A replacement world that can only be negotiated or accepted on the promise of its imminent destruction – this is the art of lunacy. Nihilism replaces religion today or to be specific, nihilism is religion today – but it is Art nevertheless, a hellish, nightmarish art of sick and fear-ridden minds.

It is not difficult to locate where you wish to BE in the world; no one can hide the art they constantly produce. What is not immediately understood is that ART is PROCESS or ACTION, it is NOT a spectator sport!

If you forfeit your option to create then others will create realities, which incorporate you! Your 'reality' becomes that of subscriber, a subordinate role is assumed by default. Slavery did not die with the Roman Empire, accepting another's prescription of reality defines you as a slave, make no mistake.

Never relinquish your prerogatives to effect and create the world in which you live.

Relinquish nothing – effect everything.

Peace.

The story was written for all but is dedicated to one in particular, BANKSY; a master semiotician/Artist -- GO MAN, GO!
