I'm OK, You're OK
Mark Harvey >
-
I imagine I don’t get it
Written by Tao Wells
The shame here is not that Mark White is confused, it’s that we won’t know
what to make of his confusion. He knows there is something to complain
about, that there is a fire going on probably in a basement where he
could be, but how to get there, and then there is the problem of Why.
You see while conquering and enslaving others
comes naturally (am I only democratic, therefore only capitalist)
there is a nagging that accompanies conscious thought that you are
doing it wrong. OK I will take responsibility and take power from
others so that I will set up my life in the best possible way.
But will this really be the best thing in the long run? I
need to examine my sculptures of the everyday.
Mark needs an audience but not the public, weird. (good.) He’ll stop if
you go home, strange. (good.) He’s in danger of not existing if he steps
outside the power of being white, male and handsome. He may want to yell,
“the face of public will stop existing DO YOU HEAR ME PUBLIC.”
(good, let’s hate him.) There’s a tradition to think of and it will really do the
thinking for you. (think Business, feel Marketing.) Frustrating for a gifted
dancer, a natural performer (YOU ARE). Awake conquering enslaving himself
he’ll turn on and drop out a sculpture. Yes, our (white) Mark has designed itself
the strange question. There’s no fire, he didn’t make it (he made it to the fire), he
didn’t make it (HE MADE THE FIRE). Just run in the direction of the columns
of smoke, you believe them right? Got nowhere to go. Got nowhere to be. So he’s
gonna watch him self fall over. It’s a shame. Don’t watch. (LETS, and pull apart
the actions of the everyday.)
