i read today
josef
beuys
in interview
with writer
³ writing as sculpture ²
a book in a
bookshop.
so
beuys answers
some question
i do not know
what the question
was
and i paraphrase
from
my 20
seconds
with
this page:
I do not
believe that
Europe needs
a European Government.
I do not
think that a European
government
is a good idea.
At best it would be
only a copy
of the
American government
and I do not
believe that the
American federal
system works.
I do not believe
that government is
a good thing
because government
is about control
and not
about freedom.
Government tells
people what
to do. I do not
think this is
a good thing.¹
also
i asked
Andy Warhol
who he thought were
the best artists
today
and he said
somebody big¹
and i asked him
more
and he said
he thought
all workers
are artists¹
and
you know
I think that
I think that
too.¹
and there was something
else
about Europe
being complicated
about how you
need to negotiate
between all the
different
countries to
get any agreement on
any European action
and somehow this
also was
a good thing.
and now
i sit down
and i have a
cd i bought in
los angeles
a record of a
singer
who
records in her
living room
in
peru singing
slave songs
susanna baca
- which i think
means 'crazy susanna'.
and just
now, every time
i restart my
computer -
because
microsoft
needs
installs -
susanna
starts
singing in spanish
again
and
i do not
understand what
she sings but
i love
to hear
her
songs :
because they
remind
me of
days in
london
two
summers
ago when
i could
make
afternoons
as a dj,
because
'crazy susanna'
makes the
songs sing
with life.
because
claudia,
i went
outside
.
the streets
are still full
of junkies,
and i kept wanting
just someone
to let me get
away to
somewhere else
and before
when
i left
one of the
hotels
- because
i was getting
a hotel room
for somebody
and the hotels
are all
full
and the couple
came forward
and i could
see the girl's
ring
i knew
she was
a
call girl
with that man
and
right then
it seemed
nearly ok
just to
forget about
making people
ask questions
and just
to
sell myself
like her
to live in
four star
hotels,
to sell
sex
like
a
sex
worker,
like another
girl,
again in London,
in the Meridien,
like her
to become
more
as
the others
as I am.
and perhaps
what started this
was
the horoscope
which
said
it is
my nature
to
sacrifice
my
relationships
because
i
believe
in
ideas
so much.
claudia,
I have no ideas.
I only make questions.
i do not know
why.
