WALKING ART
CONTEMPORARY JOBS FOR THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD · ACCORDING TO THE
NEEDS OF TODAY · A DOG WALKER POSTS ITS SERVICES ON ELECTRICITY POSTS ·
$20 DOLLARS AN HOUR IT SAYS AND A PHONE NUMBER THAT YOU TEAR FROM
THE POST AND INTO YOUR POCKET · TAKING OUT THE LAUNDRY CLOTHES · YOU
FIND THE PHONE NUMBER HAS DISAPPEARED · A WET CRUMPLED LITTLE PAPER
IS ALL THAT REMAINS ·
ART WORKS ARE PRODUCED · WE LEAVE THEM AT HOME OR AT
THE BACK OF A SHELF · ART WORKS GET HANGED · SOME TIMES WE PRODUCE
THINGS · ART WORKS · THE THINGS WE PRODUCE HANG IN THERE · IN SILENCE ·
WAITING TO BE SEEN · SOMETIMES THEY ARE HAPPY JUST TO EXIST · THEY GET
FORGOTTEN · WAITING FOR A GALLERY OR AN EXHIBITION TO CALL THEM · SOME
TIMES THEY ARE JUST HAPPY TO EXIST · WE HANG IN THERE ·
NO MORE WAITING FOR THE IMPORTANT PERSON TO CALL · TAKE THE MATTER
INTO YOUR OWN HANDS · ART IS BORED · WHAT IF I TAKE IT FOR A WALK? ·
SERIOUSLY · NO MORE GALLERY · WHAT IF I TAKE IT FOR A WALK · INTO THE
STREET · WHERE EVERYONE OUT THERE CAN SEE IT · SERIOUSLY · JUST TAKING A
STROLL · THE NEW ART WORLD IS CALLED STREET · THE NEW WALL IS A DOLLY ·
NO MORE NAILS · NO MORE ANNOYING WHOLES ON THE WALLS OF THE RECENTLY
PAINTED WALLS · THE NEW ART SPACE NEEDS NO SPACE · NO MORE BIG FEES ·
AND CERTAINLY FOR SURE · NO MORE FUTILE CALLS FOR SUBMISSIONS NOR
PROPOSALS TO SEND ·
A SIMPLE FACEBOOK POST MAKES THE JOB · PEOPLE RESPOND
WITH A ‘WALK THIS ONE’ SELF-MADE MEME · AN INSTANTLY SELF-CURATED
ENVIRONMENT · MORE RAPIDLY THAN NOT · THE ARTWORK MATERIALITY IS PUT
INTO QUESTION · WHAT IF THE PIECE IS NON-MATERIAL · A PIECE TO BE ENACTED
RATHER THAN CARRIED · WHAT IF THE PIECE IS MUSIC · WHAT IF THE PIECE IS AN
ART MAGAZINE FROM LAST YEAR · WHAT IF YOU WALK NOT THE PIECE BUT THE
REJECTED PIECES OF THE PIECE · WHAT IF THE ART PIECE IS THE WALK?
EACH ART WORK WILL REQUIRE A TAILORED STROLL · EACH ART WORK ITS OWN
ALLIES · EACH ART WORK ITS OWN ROUTE · ALL OF THIS WITH THE PROOF · THE
PROOF OF THE WALK · WE WILL MAKE A GIF OF IT · GIFT THE GIF · SO IT PROVES
THE WALK · WE TOOK IT TO THE PARK · WE TOOK IT TO THE BAR · YOU SEE · BIKE

SALTED DUST · NO MORE ANGUISH FOR YOUR ART · LET THE ART SEE(D) THE
WORLD · LET THE WORLD SEA ART · WE WILL TAKE IT FOR A RIDE ·
ACCOMPAINED BY THE PERFECTLY HARMONIZED SEAGULL’S CONSTANT CHANTS ·
