An Excuse

I make art firstly for myself, secondly for the art public. Making art and looking and thinking about my art makes me happy. Doesn't everyone want their work to be something they enjoy? As for the audience, my work is made with a specialist art audience in mind, that is to say for the art world, not the general public, but a specific public. I associate my art practice with the art world because I think that new ways of understanding our current conditions are invented there. The art world is full of failed experiments in thought, and because of the low stakes of getting something completely wrong, artists have the licence to embark on wild tangents that stretch whole lifetimes. This is the precious privilege of irresponsible thought that the world has delegated to its artists.
