Heh

Pissed off, say what you want but im still pissed. I don’t get it, I just don’t get it. I mean, why me? Why is it always me? Anyway, the Theory lecture was about Adolf Loos and the Secessions (is this correct?). About the modern man, ornaments and all that stuff. So, we all found out that Loos is a racist, a fascist and a sicko. How cool is that? Not cool at all. A sicko like that should be put in an asylum. See, I told you that all the artists are weird or sick. That makes them special. But Loos has got to be the blandest, boring and fascist old fart. Thank God he’s dead…. Thank God.
Anyway, the old dude mentioned that we have masks. We, the modern man, cant always say what’s in our mind. The real us is hidden. Im confused right now. I have a mask…. don’t I??? I usually say what’s in my mind. When im pissed or angry, I show it, I never try to hide it. That’s why people always say that im always pissed and I always sulk. So what, they want me to hide it all. Be all nice and sweet. Talk in hushed tones, like Japanese girls (no offense to them). That’s not me. I swear everyday, I shout, I scream, I sulk, I laugh out very loud and I throw insults at people as and when I feel like it. It is wrong to be yourself?? I mean, how else can a person express himself/herself?
Through ART…. Heh, feels like im writing a thesis paper. Yap, backtracking to the part where I said that all artists are either weird or sick (doesn’t it mean the same?). I read the old dude’s book, Theories of Modern Art, and it’s really very useful (I recommend you to get it). It says that the artist expresses himself, hey wait, backtrack again. Im not sure if this is from the old dude’s book. Most probably this is my point of view (hehe….). Freedom of expression through art (not through killing people or all that other shit), every artist has his own way of expressing himself/herself. But the thing is, people seem to have something against the individuals who are really original. Like Van Gogh and Rembrandt, and the art movements such as Dada, the Surrealist and the Futurist (FYI, I don’t like the Futurists at all). Didn’t they realise that these individuals are the ones who bring colour to art and life itself? Why do every thing that other people do? Why buy stuff that others buy? Why do you say what others had said? Hmmm…. What im saying right now could be what someone else has said before…. Woah…
I have a quote from Josep Quetglas. He says “The artist /architect does not control his/her works completely; rather, the artist or architect intuits what he/she wants to say but seldom finds a way of saying it, being, in the end, an instrument, though a relevant one, in the making of a work which he/she only partly governs”. Very deep huh? I guess what it means is that we can’t control what we design. The end result of our works is only a part of what we wanted it to be in our minds. Hmm… im not sure im making sense right now but we cant control what others feel about our works right? Unless…. you point a gun at someone’s temples and tell them to say what you want to hear lah.. Hehe..
I just cant seem to stop talking about art nowadays, haiz…, Im influenced by the Theory lectures. Anyway, I’ve got to continue doing my model right now. Soccer is like, 3 hours from now and I’ve yet to write the 5th issue.. damn.. There’s also the stupid csw and the rhino tutorial.. bloody hell.. haiz.. good luck to me and Happy New Year to you…Ciao…

P.S: I apologise for any discrepancies on subjects relating to the old dude’s Theory
lectures. Some of it is based on my own interpretation and understanding of the
lectures or text. If you’re sick of reading all this stuff, then you are cordially invited
to buzz off! Stay out of my blog!
