how is it you do?

"Så prøver vi."

people seem to think that asking the question, "and, uh, yaaa, so like, what are you trying to do with this," will be able to further and aide a work. I think in reality it works just the opposite, and it signals a facet of laziness in the viewer. that thinking needs to be eliminated, or at least questioned and prodded.

and so we try. i can see nothing wrong with this attempt, and view, so long as it holds true when asked. while sitting around and discussing, we need to accept rejection, accept failure somewhat, but never, no never, accept ambivalence and hiding in neutrality. we must ask, "so what is it you´re trying with this work. what you´re trying out" stepping back in that way.

and when people can be confronted with what they actually have done and maybe see its affects, rather than jump to conclusions, and try to set fast what we should see in a work. life is unpredictable, art will reflect that.
