A strange cul-de-sac.
With no exit – like every other blind alley. Which is
nonsense itself – if there is the entrance, there must be
the exit, unless right after entering this space the
entrance closes like crocodile jaws, unless this is not a
cul-de-sac but a black hole...... No, this is not a black
hole. This is a cul-de-sac. It could have been named Black
Hole but it has no
name. Usually it is described as the ARTERY OF ARTS
which seems contradictory to the very essence of
cul-de-sac, but it is not, for this cul-de-sac is
extremely long, longer and longer, infinitely long, similar to a sack with no
bottom. Or to a sort of sleeve. Or to a leg. Kind of a
tunnel with no light in the end because having no end. A
stool gut with no ass hole. A stool gut with an ass hole
somewhere in infinity...... So, an artery. An artery
throbbing with art. An artery with all possible arts
running through it. A string of studios and workshops –
the number of them defined as uncountable. The various ones. Some are
like palaces, others like sheds, some being just a sheet
of paper, a piece of ground swept clean. There are
studios which are but a head – mind – a state of mind -
- - - - - Well, everything can be art. Everything wants
to be art. Everything considers itself art. Even war.
Yes. The art of war – this is what they say and write. A lot of people think in that
way. Politics – the art of ruling, the art of governing.
Rustling up a dinner – the art of cooking. Wooing – the
art of seduction. Rumours – the art of gossiping, the
art of backbiting.....
So, playing piano - what is it? The art of finger
tapping. Like walking is but the art of foot tapping.
And what is art? Everything is art, everything wants to
be art, everything considers itself art. So, the art is
everything. Every action is art. Existing is art. Non-existing is art too..... Then what is
ART? What is difference between art and ART? And between
art and art? This is the art of asking
question. This is the art of looking for answers.
This is the art of answering..... Maybe somewhere
here there is such a studio. You should
find it and meet the master and bow down deeply before him and ask to be his apprentice. And
you needn't mistake an assistant for a master. This
is an art too...... And all these things occur in this narrow
cul-de-sac which is a wide multilane artery.
