"Every day, Kawara’s fake Twitter handle announces to its 5,000 followers, ‘I Am Still Alive,’ followed by the addendum ‘#art.’ These messages may receive many re-Tweets, but they miss the point of his work. If we want to persist in the belief that Kawara lives on through his art—his daily record of his existence—it is because, as with Kaufman, we still want the bright side to peak through that darkness, still want the possibility that both men simply chose to drop the act and go away. Because otherwise the joke’s on them, just as it eventually will be on all of us."

”.. Do something unfunny once and it’s not funny, do it for a prolonged period and it’s very funny, keep doing it and it becomes dark and uncomfortable.”
