From the point of view of art taken precisely qua art, there is nothing to lose in considering all paintings anonymous.

06h12 today is monday. with effort, i have less than a month with the possibility of total commitment. what i have to say to myself and everyone i care: do not waste time. work as much as possible — enough to look back and say it was worth it.

07h44 started reading jasper john’s writings and interviews.

night: i have found my treasure chest.

07h50 i study the life (writings and interviews) of other artists to understand more about their work and methods. of course, life isn’t separate from the art and sometimes a bit of personal information brings more light to the work. i am not interested in their personal matters and secrets.

night: started reading maria carolina de jesus’ quarto de despejo.

manhã: após aula de yoga, peguei uma antiga bicicleta e voltei para a casa pedalando. há anos que não me delicio numa magrela! vou aproveitar enquanto não neva e pedalar pelas manhãs!

ontem minha mãe mandou um diálogo entre sadhguru e outras pessoas. fazia tempo que não dava atenção a essas “conversas espirituais” — estou imerso nas leituras de arte e cérebro/mental e nem tava sentindo falta dessa área…

limpando meu preconceito, escutei até o fim e gostei!
uma relembrança foi a fala sobre a comparação e competição — padrão que reconheço muito em mim ultimamente. na realidade, acredito que isso é um dos motivos de crise atuais. é melhor não se comparar, nem competir. na minha visão, qualquer batalha que se entra é batalha perdida. imagina com outras pessoas, principalmente algumas que nem conheço e nem quero… penso nisso em relação ao mundo das artes. os diversos mundos da arte. responsabilizo os mundos da arte, mas nunca a arte. a arte sempre foi um motivo de existência, até sagrada a considero.

materializar a criação de alguma maneira que faça sentido coerente dentro de um projeto.

elefante

o que me falta:

  • clareza de pensamento,
  • organizar a forma,
  • sentido coerente (ao menos dentro de um projeto)

Caminhar paralelos são bons, mas onde há coerência/sentido?

olhe para forma, encontre
………………………..revele a poesia

estou maníaco ou apenas querendo pintar o incrível?

09h05 i can recognize that some of the big problems i’ve been going thru started when i wanted to became “a professional artist”. what does this mean?
to have works in museums — and galleries. oh, how that’s a perfect path to trouble, at least in my own experience.

07h45 sonhei com a palavra gasket. será que ela existe? também com uma noite de bebedeira. o lugar estava uma bagunça. ainda bem que acordei e percebi que foi apenas um sonho…


manhã:

AS CONSEQUENT, Etc. by Walt Whitman

Aa consequent from store of summer rains,
Or wayward rivulets in autumn flowing,
Or many a herb-lined brook’s reticulations,
Or subterranean sea-rills making for the sea,
Songs of continued years I sing.

Life’s ever-modern rapids first, (soon, soon to blend,
With the old streams of death.)

Some threading Ohio’s farm-fields or the woods,
Some down Colorado’s cañons from sources of perpetual snow,
Some half-hid in Oregon, or away southward in Texas,
Some in the north finding their way to Erie, Niagara, Ottawa,
Some to Atlantica’s bays, and so to the great salt brine.

In you whoe’er you are my book perusing,
In I myself, in all the world, these currents flowing,
All, all toward the mystic ocean tending.

Currents for starting a continent new,
Overtures sent to the solid out of the liquid,
Fusion of ocean and land, tender and pensive waves,
(Not safe and peaceful only, waves rous’d and ominous too,
Out of the depths the storm’s abysmic waves, who knows whence?
Raging over the vast, with many a broken spar and tatter’d sail.)

Or from the sea of Time, collecting vasting all, I bring,
A windrow-drift of weeds and shells.

O little shells, so curious-convolute, so limpid-cold and voiceless,
Will you not little shells to the tympans of temples held,
Murmurs and echoes still call up, eternity’s music faint and far,
Wafted inland, sent from Atlantica’s rim, strains for the soul of the
prairies,
Whisper’d reverberations, chords for the ear of the West joyously
sounding,
Your tidings old, yet ever new and untranslatable,
Infinitesimals out of my life, and many a life,
(For not my life and years alone I give—all, all I give,)
These waifs from the deep, cast high and dry,
Wash’d on America’s shores?

um dos livros que estou lendo é poesia e filosofia do antônio cicero. eu não conheço muito do universo da poesia escrita. aproveitei para escutar algumas entrevistas com o poeta agora pouco, enquanto fazia alguns rabiscos. por inspiração poética, vou assistir um filme já já: il postino…

eu não sou mão de vaca com livros. inclusive descobri que faz parte de uma condição. agora, sou mão de vaca com papéis e materiais artísticos. é algo que desejo me livrar. a auto-estima é tão baixa em alguns momentos que não me sinto digno para usar um bom papel.

amanhã começará a minha imersão nesse novo momento. produção e atenção, leituras e estudos. cores. movimentações. ações materializantes.

04:56 woke up early. in brazilian time is almost 10am. since i’ve read that the condition makes sleep less and less, i’ve been monitoring times for a different reason.



walking through “the old town yreka streets”
i feel the cold air from memories, wishes and dreams.
even though this city ain’t made for walking,
here i go wandering in thoughts.

also,
today i’ve listened to two different conversations with people that won’t take vaccines. the first group being new age folks, saying that a health body doesn’t need this kind of treatment. another group were with the political argument… i’ve heard from a person that what really helps are alfafa baths and shots with antiparasites. i am amazed. baffled. insterested and sometimes not hopeful about our species. what can we do? how to talk? should i try to speak anything at all?

busy first day.
morning: yoga and helping to organize the place where will be the party. a huge house with an older american architecture. seeing it from the outside, it gave me an idea for a painting.
lunch at natalee’s thai food. delicious.
afternoon we went to mt shasta, my mom had business there.
came back to yreka, then market.
organizing the studio.
dinner with mom at fireplace.
i feel very tired right now.

16h06 went to biennal this morning. we wanted to see jaider esbell’s paintings, but they had a black cloth to honor the artist.

03.xi.2021

11h54 agora pela manhã abri o instagram e comecei a ver diversas imagens do jaider esbell. com as legendas, fui começando a compreender a mensagem. choque e tristeza. sua partida é inesperada. a força de sua arte permanecerá. simpatizo e compartilho a maneira mais simples dessa escura notícia: encantou.

07h19 now waking up early brings new thoughts: is it healthy? all over i read that sleeping well is a must. i love to watch the sun rising…

16h43 we’ve just watched van sant’s restless. this and yesterday’s movie weren’t too agreeable to panda’s taste. interesting, i’ve enjoyed both when i was younger.

21h49 “now it all does make sense!”
