Ken Baumann—
James Pate at Montevidayo says some really precise stuff about chaos and art, ending with this (YES): “With both–and with Grosz too, I would say– we’re left with an aesthetic that I like to think of as the abandoned house approach to art. You go in and wander around, but no one lives there anymore.”
It is of lost to me for finding this so late–this is one of the most articulate saying of words that I have found in this course of reading-[ You go in and wonder around,but no one lives there anymore].this is good work and should be noticed…
where there’s a “house”, there is ‘still’ a person
for me, what’s useful about Deleuze is that his “affirmation of becoming” is not a naive “reversal”
what’s beautiful about Beckett is that the expertise is not post-human
James is also a fantastic fiction writer and poet. Here’s one of my favorites: http://www.actionyes.org/issue3/pate/pate1.html
