ARS LONGA VITA BREVIS

i actually really enjoy when people leave random objects in art galleries and people start treating them as if they're art. I think it puts people into a headspace where they start looking at normal objects differently and its an opportunity for them to realize that they can do this too outside of a gallery setting. You're not dumb or tricked for seeing something on the floor of a gallery and trying to figure it out or appreciating it as an art object. The world is full of beautiful and interesting objects even some random garbage on the street is worthy of that same level of examination. Theres art everywhere if you're primed to see it.

The wise object enjoyer can build a gallery the size of the whole world, and appreciate every work within.

Where's that tweet about people still living long fulfilling lives even through the fall of the roman empire because I think about it constantly
