Dear Like Minds,
These are images of an installation of ideas on slips of paper. The ideas were thought of and recorded in a class I teach each Spring. I never knew, when I first looked at Joseph Kosuth's One and Three Chairs, that I would arrive at digging conceptual art; promoting it and assigning it even. It grew on me, I guess, like moss and Absurdist literature.
The way that ideas, and manifestations of ideas, circulate and fold out and in and recombine is really a beautiful thing. I have mentioned it here before, and what is the word for it? Happenstance? Coincidence doesn't seem quite right. The thesaurus offers 'concomitance,' 'concordance,' and 'lumping together.' The first two are a little officious, and the last implies a lack of elegance. Happenstance will have to do.
One thing that lumped together to manifest as this project are the Paul Thek Teaching Notes. Here is a place you can read a little about them, and you can look at the notes, here. Then you can answer them, make your own list of questions, or manifest some other happenstance entirely.
