When I read this statement I immediately read it again and again, but this time not because I could not understand it, but because I wanted his words engraved in my mined. The more times I read it the faster the voice in my mined read. It felt as though every sentence ended with an exclamation point. In this statement Jean Tinguely expresses his ideas about change, movement and the necessity of being static. He said “movement is static because it is the only immutable thing- the only thing that is unchangeable.”
My recent ideas in art are about the communication of ideas that feeds art and the ideas we are afraid to express, and since conversation is the way we communicate the most it is the focal point in my new body of work. Now, since I am interested in the emotions or ideas we are afraid to express, I have to dive in head first into my own. I have been very hesitant to do so. “Be yourself by growing above yourself. Don’t stand in your own way. Let us change with, and not against, movement.” This statement I think has inspired me to venture into this new idea without fear or at least with much less of it. It has taught me that ideas will always change. So, there should be no real fear to say these things because eventually they will change.
