Serendipitous Readymade Assisted, Even 001
For several years now...
...I've been wanting to documents the contents of The Flat Files. Now I'm asking myself: "Is The Flat Files a serendipitous readymade presently on its way to becoming a nuanced readymade?" Gosh, guess what, I just remembered opening the several wooden flat files within Rolywholyover: A Circus for Museum by John Cage at the Philadelphia Museum of Art sometime between June 4, 1995 and July 30, 1995. The Flat Files, here, date back to Spring 1989, and there is still material within them since then, I think. Memories, go figure.

"Can Art Be Taught"
The following is an excerpt from "Can Art Be Taught?" by Calvin Tomkins in this week's New Yorker:
...The virtual takeover of art teaching by the universities in this country has coincided with the dying out of teaching methods passed down from the medieval guilds to the apprenticeship system of the Renaissance and, after, to the nineteenth-century beaux-arts academies in Europe, and this has had a profound effect on the kind of art that gets produced.
"Can there be any doubt that training in the university has contributed to the cool, impersonal wave in art of the sixties?" the critic Harold Rosenberg observed in 1970. In order to become an academic discipline, art had to be intellectualized. Craft and technique were subordinated to verbal analysis, problem solving, and critical theory. University-based art teaching, in fact, became more and more like scientific research, with the pursuit of ideas as its primary goal.

Yesterday, 25 February, was (again) the anniversary of St. Ambrose breaking the silence about St. Helena finding the True Cross.

The calendar and the coincidences that occur within it make for an efficient mnemonic devise.
