Charles Bukowski on the Ideal Conditions and Myths of Creativity, Illustrated

AIR AND LIGHT AND TIME AND SPACE

”– you know, I’ve either had a family, a job, something has always been in the way but now I’ve sold my house, I’ve found this place, a large studio, you should see the space and the light. for the first time in my life I’m going to have a place and the time to create.”

no baby, if you’re going to create you’re going to create whether you work 16 hours a day in a coal mine or you’re going to create in a small room with 3 children while you’re on welfare, you’re going to create with part of your mind and your body blown away, you’re going to create blind crippled demented, you’re going to create with a cat crawling up your back while the whole city trembles in earthquake, bombardment, flood and fire.

baby, air and light and time and space have nothing to do with it and don’t create anything except maybe a longer life to find new excuses for.

“‘I DON’T SEE YOU BECAUSE I THINK YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TRANSPARENT’: GLITCH AS CRITICISM”, BY DAN THORPE

[helvetica 12] As artists, we often feel that what we are allowed to say is limited by our political, economic, and social situation: whether the scene will like it, whether the government will allow it, or what our mum would say. However, in [e backspace cmd+i] Excitable Speech [cmd+i], Judith Butler frames [censorship backspace] limitation as a means of production; a field of circumscribed possibilities preceding cultural expression. The framework in which the creative process takes place is designed to produce art according to explicit[y backspace] and implicit norms: “[cmd+i]The question is not what it is I will be able to say, but what will constitute[d backspace] the domain of the sayable within which I will be[hin backspace]gin to speak at all”.[i] [cmd+i cmd+s filename: ~/Documents/liftedbrowcommish.docx]
