Reading ‘Some Rules for Students and Teachers’ by John Cage, and ‘Sentences on Conceptual Art’ by Sol Lewitt has been eye opening and insightful into how I should view my working practice. Of course these are only the opinions of two people, yet the clarity that I feel when reading through them is refreshing in comparison to a lot of texts out there in regards to an artist’s working practice. I like the straightforward, simple syntax used.
They address a lot of questions that I have both for myself and those working around me, and are reassuring in that their ideals allow for experimentation, failure, the unknown. It also proves to me that there is no right and wrong answer when it comes to making work, providing that you are in a process that contributes to the making of art, both physically and mentally through theorising and ideas generation.
