“If you live by perception, as all artists must, then you sometimes have to wait a long time for your mind to tell you the next step to take. … When you’re with other people, your mind isn’t your own.”
— Agnes Martin (via jenervinblog)

I think if you want to make art, at some point you have to suspend judgment, and you have to involve yourself with play and not worry about the outcome. —Richard Serra (Nov 2,1938–March 26, 2024)
“…A fact…my developing identity was ensnarled with the camera, its natural power to encode and communicate that which was in front of me and that which was in me.”—Larry Fink
If you don’t know who Larry Fink is, you should: he’s one of our great, American photographers. Primarily known for his celebrity and High-Society, black & white images documenting the rich at play, Fink’s work–and more importantly his intention—has always been deep, philosophical and imbued with his progressive political leanings. As an artist, he’s a man of the moment, in the moment. For as he says, “The photograph is an attempt to give the perception of the moment some relationship to immortality.” As a professor, Fink has gone on to teach generations of young photographers.
Long before he was “Larry Fink,” however, he was just a kid from Brooklyn with a camera. At the age of 17 in 1958, he happened upon a group of local Beatniks in Greenwich Village who allowed him and his camera to be part of their scene, and perhaps, to give immortality to their beat existence. This series which has been crafted into a lovely book, “The Beats,” reveals Fink’s precociousness as a photographer. To be a kid, with no formal photographic training, who can take images this good, tells us many things. One of which is that talent is often innate.
The other thing it demonstrates is that getting an MFA, especially in Photography, is a waste of money. It breaks my heart to meet young photographers who are tens of thousands of dollars in debt, who come out of brand-name MFA programs and suddenly find themselves back at square one. Better to get $50-100K in debt (or not!), traveling the world taking photographs, or spending the money on a meaningful documentary project.
It is the photographers like Larry Fink, who, ironically, never finished college, who go on to be the Professors and the recognized Masters. It is the photographers willing to create their own rules and map their own destinies, who go on to greatness–to be the ones whom we revere and study. The world doesn’t care about an MFA. We want the best you’ve got.–Lane Nevares

“It might take us a lifetime to find out what it is we need to say. Most of us fall into where our feelings are headed while we’re quite young. But the beauty of all this uncertainty would be that in the process of exhausting all the possibilities, we might actually stumble unconsciously into the recognition of something that’s useful to us, that speaks to a deep need within ourselves. At the same time, I like to think that in order for any of us to really do anything new, we can’t know exactly what it is we are doing… It’s cool to be wrong. It’s so essential, so necessary. It’s so appropriate to be confused, to be muddled, to be unsure. We preach clarity. Get your ideas organized. Get your thinking straight. And it’s the kind of stuff we all got from our parents, because that’s the role of parents. But it is the aliveness of the unguarded intuition and the persistence of our own feelings that guide us to our discoveries… Everything really good in our experience is in some way beyond our control.”

Belief and Technique for Modern Prose
Scribbled secret notebooks, and wild typewritten pages, for yr own joy
Submissive to everything, open, listening
Try never get drunk outside yr own house
Be in love with yr life
Something that you feel will find its own form
Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind
Blow as deep as you want to blow
Write what you want bottomless from bottom of the mind
The unspeakable visions of the individual
No time for poetry but exactly what is
Visionary tics shivering in the chest
In tranced fixation dreaming upon object before you
Remove literary, grammatical and syntactical inhibition
Like Proust be an old teahead of time
Telling the true story of the world in interior monolog
The jewel center of interest is the eye within the eye
Write in recollection and amazement for yourself
Work from pithy middle eye out, swimming in language sea
Accept loss forever
Believe in the holy contour of life
Struggle to sketch the flow that already exists intact in mind
Dont think of words when you stop but to see picture better
Keep track of every day the date emblazoned in yr morning
No fear or shame in the dignity of yr experience, language & knowledge
Write for the world to read and see yr exact pictures of it
Bookmovie is the movie in words, the visual American form
In praise of Character in the Bleak inhuman Loneliness
Composing wild, undisciplined, pure, coming in from under, crazier the better
You’re a Genius all the time

The list was allegedly tacked on the wall of Allen Ginsberg’s hotel room in North Beach a year before his iconic poem “Howl” was written — which is of little surprise, given Ginsberg readily admitted Kerouac’s influence and even noted in the dedication of Howl and Other Poems that he took the title from Kerouac. more on Branpickings
“You are not responsible for the world—you are only responsible for your work—so DO IT. And don’t think that your work has to conform to any preconceived form, idea or flavor. It can be anything you want it to be.” —Sol LeWitt, in a letter to Eva Hesse
