PASTICHE LUMUMBA

...by the artist Lumumba Mogerie.

Art is easy. if one can or must control her product, it is not art. art is effortless for thought is effortless and without control. resistance requires effort for the truth is effortless. art is truth. lies require effort for fabrication is a product of resistance to the effortless truth. art requires no thought or work for art simply is. planning is work and such plans obstruct creativity for time spent planning is time spent not creating. time spent planning is time spent aborting creation. the inception of art in the mind is filtered through plans and possibilities murdered rather than executed. art is spontaneous. the mind’s first thought is precedent. deliberation is work. deliberation creates false expression, a derivative afterthought. art is ephemeral as it is in the mind of the maker and in the mind of the viewer. permanence is not art. permanence is history. history is not art. History is subjective for it presents facts. art is truth. choice is work and art is random. to choose is to is to disregard another choice. The mind cannot choose which thoughts to think, only which ones to execute. Art is not a choice. art is individual. art is without purpose for purpose is collective. perfection is impossible for the artist because choice is infinite. art is individual imperfection. it is the glitch that must escape the artist with exact speed. it is the waking nightmare that cannot be slept off. it is a fever unsweatable. repetition is work. art is individual. expression is work. art simply is. God is art. the best artist is the worst person for truth is unspoken. art is contradictory. it is controversial. it is  hypocritical. art invites judgement, conversation and shuns authority. art is the opposite sex. it is subjective for it presents no facts. art offers no correct answers. the act of creation is perfection, in the mind. it is difficult. the speed of transmission is the measure of an artist’s merit. it is through repetition. it is through training. it is through the product of exponent derivation that an artist gains proficiency. art is minimal and grandiose all the same for it is the instant of sense and the trail of thought that follows. art is not representation and it is not abstraction. art is a product of the mind in communication with the brain. the mind does not know abstraction and the brain does not know representation. it simply knows being. nihilism does not exist. art exists for the mind exists. art is the opposite of thought. thought is thought. thought is resistance. art is freedom. graffiti is freedom. expression is freedom. the mind is free. art is the tangible mind.
