Exactly 49 years ago yesterday, Sol LeWitt sent Eva Hesse an extraordinary 5-page letter in which he famously urged:

“Just stop thinking, worrying, looking over your shoulder wondering, doubting, fearing, hurting, hoping for some easy way out, struggling, grasping, confusing, itching, scratching, mumbling, bumbling, grumbling, humbling, stumbling, numbling, rumbling, gambling, tumbling, scumbling, scrambling, hitching, hatching, bitching, moaning, groaning, honing, boning, horse-shitting, hair-splitting, nit-picking, piss-trickling, nose sticking, ass-gouging, eyeball-poking, finger-pointing, alleyway-sneaking, long waiting, small stepping, evil-eyeing, back-scratching, searching, perching, besmirching, grinding, grinding, grinding away at yourself. Stop it and just DO!”

"I think the essence of The Ballad is about the struggle in relationships between intimacy and autonomy. That’s what the piece is really about. And it’s about the dependency one can get on another person that’s totally inappropriate for them on every level, but the sex is good. And the sexual connection is so strong.”
