some thoughts about my relationship with art...

the other day I was thinking about my passion/obsessivecompulsivedisorder with art. 

this is what i found out,

a visceral relationship

sometimes i am embarrassed on how much a voyeur i am 

(voyeur is such an elegant word!)

it empties my mind

i like when art is exhibited in unexpected places 

(also when it has some humor! but not arrogant humor but simple and true)


i like artists who transform their time not only mirror it

i enjoy small museums. 
(intimacy is better)
un pas de deux

museums should be opened 24 hours. (sometimes needed)

i could move into another country for art. i just did

I can't tell which was my first relationship to art. I think I have always been attracted to beauty. ...maybe nature and my family's love started everything 

communication for me is so hard! and for some reason I find myself completely communicated when I am in art. 

it is a state, a place where i go back, i return.


at the end of the experience I find myself in peace and thankful

strangely but no, i have not collected anything. oh yes! stickers but i lost them. 

a few months ago i tried to collect interviews from my favorite people but afterwards i forgot. 

i am looking to start my own collection... oh! but I am sure I would easily exchange it for something else. maybe memories. 

art comes from/is/goes to movement

the works of art that have moved me the most... so many and so few!

 i believe art is extremely powerful!

i prefer going by myself cause it is a very intimate experience. 
afterwards i share the event with my closest friends

you can find it anywhere. just picture a frame!

my favorites (the ones I frequently go back to): ambramovic, turrell, rothko, kapoor. 

but i enjoy finding new favorites all the time! 

(Also, there are some curators and people that are not considered "artists" that I adore!)

i love all art forms! 

from the art expressions, i "connect" (I feel so hippie saying "connect") most easily-least easily:

dance, theatre, contemporary visual arts, film, film, photography, opera, performance, architecture, writing, fashion, performance, sculpture. I prefer when they merge! :)

i am still in the journey of discovering what in art is so magnetic to me. (not necessarily in art)

A very beautiful journey though!

merci,
