“What you copy and how you copy it shape your reputation as a dancer.” – C. V. Hill.
Futility of Life
‘Heidegger, Agamben, and Arendt as well are afraid that human life might be reduced to mere organic being, unredeemed from what Arendt calls the “essential futility” of life.’
from “The Origin of the Work of Art in Material Practice” by Henry Staten.
Motion and Emotion
A movement-deficient understanding of emotion is an impoverished understanding of emotion – Maxine Sheets-Johnstone. pg 214 of The Corporeal Turn
Warhol Quote
“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”
― Andy Warhol
Quoting Finley
I wonder if the lead vocalist of L7 was quoting Karen Finley –
from Wikipedia –
During their performance at the 1992 English Reading Festival, the band experienced “technical difficulties with their audio equipment” and were forced to stall their set. Quickly, the rowdy crowd grew restless and began throwing mud onto the stage. In protest, lead vocalist Donita Sparks removed her tampon on-stage and threw it into the crowd yelling “Eat my used tampon, fuckers!”. Sparks has remained unapologetic about the incident.[1] This has been referred to as one of the “most unsanitary pieces of rock memorabilia in history”.[9]
