RE: The Danger of Automatic Writing (Day 3)
Yes, good play is always serious... You speak me better than I can at the moment, my articulate, perceptive friend. This made me snort outloud: "the juxtaposition of stylistic nonchalance with a thematic fucking death grip"
Mmhmm... Identity, self-aware, self-questioning, you got it all! 'All art is, at once, surface and symbol' cautions Oscar Wilde, 'those who go beneath the surface do so at their own peril.'
Thanks, for taking the plunge, man. Wishing you a restorative weekend. Cheers!
Glad that got a laugh, it made me chuckle when I wrote it TBH. Spot on with the Oscar Wilde quote, that infinite space between surface and symbol is the artists' playground I think. Also: anytime someone manages to work Oscar Wilde into the conversation, it makes my day. I'm easy to please like that :D
Have a beautiful weekend Yahia!
Cheers, mate! It's important to be able to tickle oneself :P
And, since you care for Oscar (and if have the time for a fairly long read) here's an essay about that great contrarian that you might enjoy:
