Start Now Dress Rehearsal

Tomorrow I have another presentation. Before having a good night sleep, hoping to recover from a cold. Here are some photos of today's dress rehearsal.

Is there Buddha Mind in contemporary art?

J. Cage’s thinks that ‘the distinction between art and life must somehow be overcome’ as ‘ a corollary of the Zen idea that the distinction between religion and life is to be overcome.’






‘Zen teaches nothing. Whatever teachings there are in Zen, they come out of one’s own mind. We teach ourselves; Zen merely points the way.’ D.T. Suzuki

M. Duchamp: THE MASTER of Contemporary Art

‘Marcel Duchamp changed not only how we experience art, but how we experience life. He helped us see that everything in the world is worthy of our attention, and to understand that –our attention – is the creative act.’

A MASTER: J. Cage

‘Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating.’

John Cage

Orlan's Carnal Art

'Skin is deceiving… in life, one only has one’s skin… there is a bad exchange in human relations because one never is what one has… I have the skin of an angel, but I am a jackal… the skin of a crocodile, but I am a puppy, the skin of a black person, but I am white, the skin of a woman, but I am a man; I never have the skin of what I am. There is no exception to the rule because I am never what I have.'
Eugénie Lemoine-Luccioni
