Art for the Released

you simply take

a few well-loved value systems

onto your shovel

turn them over

turn them on their heads

or onto other body parts

and suddenly the waves of reviews

by well-meaning world changers

sound more world-despising

with this process of provocation

i have kept myself

more or less

successfully busy

for years

now

i am interested in

the provocation of provocation

the criticism of criticism

what happens after:

what happens after provocation?

what happens when everything has happened,

everything has been achieved?

post-provocative art, so to speak

art for a higher consciousness

or deeper unconsciousness

art for the released
