…     
i can never concentrate hard enough on relational aesthetics.
i get worked up, because i love kaprow like everyone loves kaprow,
but then his spirit only lingers so long
   
…     
… relational aesthetics is about making room for exchange in a world dulled by the captilasation of all of our exchanges. it seeks an alternative space, event-spaces, but doesn’t it undo itself inasmuch as it lances itself off from most of our real lives thanks to its truly fantastic notion of a fully transparent public realm?    
…     
… the other night when i was thinking about bloomsbury i was thinking that we should bury relational aesthetics and replace it with relational aestheticism.
