a playground of possibility (Ed Ruscha)
3:33

I had to do,
To, to satisfy my curiosity
Erik Satie, Erik Satie
I had no quest
I didn't expect to
I had no strategy
Erik Satie, Erik Satie

I didn't know what to expect
I mean especially contemporary art
I woke up to the world of art
To the world of art, the world of art
Not just through painting, sculpture
That sort of thing
But also through musicians
A kind of a zoom
That kind of thing

(Interlude)

I had to do to satisfy my curiosity
Leonardo, Michelangelo
They eventually are forgotten
Aaa-almost forgotten

Riemenschneider, you know the wood sculptor
I woke up when I saw his work
Europe to me was something
Brand new and exotic
You have to go somewhere else

It’s like this cause and reaction
Abstract expressionism came along
And produced conceptual art

Inspired people to do let’s say the opposite
Do the opposite of what you are supposed to do
Then you will be doing right
Do the opposite, let’s say the opposite

I think that’s true with most art
It’s like cause and reaction
And even the driest kind of
Conceptual art has amusement

(Interlude)

I think it just exists in the air
Like a playground of possibility
This is food for thought, food for the future
Food for thought, food for the future

Voicing the same words, doing the same things
Voicing the same words, doing the same things

Playground of possibility
Living for the moment
Daily activity, artistic activity
Conceptual art
It’s so abstract this idea
I think it just exists in the air
Like a playground of possibility
