"If we declare the whole of the world’s development to be art, we’re done; art is finished" - Henk Peeters
#Comment: The "Manifesto Against Nothing" (like so many outputs of the zero movement) is a nice illustration of the utterly confused and dysfunctional state which western #Art and #Philosophy are in for the past centuries. Endless, highly exclusive and complex but totally pointless intellectual masturbation ("reductio ad absurdum") replaced an essential praxis, which for millennia guided human culture and life. With all "lebendigkeit" long gone, the western (art) circus has turned into a macabre spectacle for the super rich and their parasites. The exploration of "Zero" & "Nothing" (even intellectual ones) in the east is certainly more fun, useful and #Mindful.
