I tell my friend you are the enemy.
It has become uncertain who the enemy is, nowadays.
You can construct something though in order to still have a sense of agility. Put up walls, draw frontiers, make mistakes and assertions.
You are the enenmy.
Right you are, he said and took my hand. We continued walking down the hallway, out through the front door of the large georgian building into the beautiful garden with its grassy slopes that brought us to the shore. There we stood quietly beneath the clear nightsky and its twinkling stars and looked at the stacked up shipping containers on the other side of the bay.
Nice picture:
I tell my friend you are the enemy.
It has become uncertain who the enemy is, nowadays. You can construct something for yourself though in order to still have a sense of agility. Keep on going is what you will do anyways. Something you do not have to worry about. In order to remain moveable though you have to put up walls, draw frontiers and make mistakes. Do not use them instantly, as artists and managers do, to optimize your work. Use them to make assertions.
Disturbances, trouble, irreconcilability and breaks. Do not put up containers- they neither are the enemy- they just look good.
Without the containers the picture would be nice and idyllic but also boring.
The containers in green with white inscription 'Evergreen' correspond to the tomatosoup tins with white inscription 'Cambell's' you can buy in the shop of the museum.
Assertion no.1.
I have optimized the nice but boring picture by adding some containers to it. Doesn't mean I am more agile now. I might have more money, the picture sells better, has moved from the craft to the art section, contains more enemy, contains more friend, too because I am now able to move faster. I can now take the plane to visit my family in Sydney, in Angola. That's it. The artmarket does not correspond to art.
Assertion no. 2
You don't believe- I won't attempt to make ye: You are asleep- I won't attempt to wake ye. Sleep on! sleep on! while in your pleasant dreams- Of Reason you may drink of Life's clear streams.
Reason and Newton, they are quite two things; For so the swallow and the sparrow sings. Reason says 'Miracle': Newton says 'Doubt'. Aye! that's the way to make all Nature out.
'Doubt, doubt and don't believe without experiment':That is the very thing that Jesus meant, When He said 'Only believe! believe and try!Try, try, and never mind the reason why!'
Assertion no.3
Art constantly exposes you to the uncertain, the unexpected. It therefore makes you fit for survival. Artists are managers. I want to do music.

Assertion no.4
I am alienated from my mother tongue. Not unexpected. Decision and necessity produce uncertainty. Maybe inaccuracy, maybe permeability.
You are the enemy I tell the friend and put him into handcuffs instead of offering him cufflinks. Civilization instead of culture.
I sit with my toes in the brook, And if anyone asks my why I give him a tap with my crook, Necissity drives me, say I.
