<p>My Private Corpus - An art project based on interviews with artists</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Text List:</p>
<p>What if I don’t get it?<br>Are you relevant?<br>Could you describe what it's all about?</p>
<p>From one event to the other<br>It is always the same thing<br>We only discover the colors<br>With a metaphoric potential<br>I could change the language<br>Intellectuals can’t do that<br>I’m very scared of progress<br>The power of the individual<br>I don’t pay attention to it<br>Just to talk about anything<br>As if art were about beauty<br>If they don’t understand it<br>Turn the television back on<br>It’s like we’ve never lived</p>
<p>My work is visually reduced<br>For example in my paintings<br>I think it’s real important<br>To have a piece that simple<br>A confession of my feelings<br>Ideas about what a world is<br>Forms that everyone can see<br>That’s not the way it works<br>I’ve never said this before<br>There are many similarities<br>Just open your refrigerator<br>But that’s part of the work<br>It is a question of balance<br>I’m trying to be productive</p>
<p>It was all wide open for me<br>Some images must be painted<br>I must admit in my own mind<br>It always deals with memory<br>Not as a long linear string<br>But I never really know why<br>You have to be very careful<br>Nothing that’s said is true<br>That’s the way it has to be<br>There are serious positions<br>Experimenting with the idea<br>We cannot isolate ourselves<br>My real life might surprise<br>I’m more interested in that</p>
<p>Can it be measured?<br>Is there a reason for that what you're doing?<br>What are you looking for?<p>
<p>Everything fits into everything else<br>Your mind wants to make associations<br>It all depends on the subject matter<br>You can do whatever you want with it<br>Pictures keep a part of them private<br>There’s a contradiction about it all<br>I’m not interested in answers per se<br>It really takes you back to yourself<br>That’s just one way of looking at it<br>I think all these things are similar</p>
<p>Be true to yourself<br>For us it is normal<br>A transparent thing<br>That change is real<br>Art is made in life<br>An endless sentence<br>Fuck around with it<br>Good art takes time<br>Plan the impossible<br>It makes me nervous<br>Entertaining people<br>I don’t remember it<br>Do what feels right<br>Anything can happen</p>
<p>I do the same thing<br>Just playing around<br>It’s really strange<br>Painters will paint<br>You say to yourself<br>What are the things<br>It’s a piece of art<br>As a matter of fact<br>It’s very important<br>That’s what happens<br>Everywhere you look<br>The thing in itself<br>You can’t ignore it<br>I have a vague idea</p>
