THE ART OF THE ABSURD

Art is a fallacy, a wonderful comedy. I want to create and I create the art of the absurd.

It is the art of pee, of shit. Go down the street and do like the dogs: pee and shit. This will be a great work of absurd art. This art needs no museum, no gallery, no audience, and if they see you pee on the street, better they think you're a pig. This will be much better artwork. I, influenced by the great creators of the 20th century, want to go further and create the art of the absurd.

I don't care about the so-called great artists like Botticelli, Donatello, Van Gogh. (Poor Vincent. He had to kill himself), as even the great artists of the 20th century could think. Do you understand anything about contemporary art? What would Dominikos Theotokópulos think if he could read this writing? This one had a good life, with musicians who enlivened his meals.

I agree to keep the concept of art, even though what is done now, and we call it art, has nothing to do with what they said about the art of all times. I don't care. Already in 1911, a Russian painter made the first work without any kind of visual representation. I did my first abstract works in 1965. It was also in Paris when I did some of my first works of conceptual art; before, it was around 1970 that there was talk of conceptual art. What a wonderful shit.

You may think I'm crazy, but I don't care. What would Guifré the Hairy understanding if he could read this? This one was drugged by Christianity. How many people, if we call them people, have been drugged by Christianity? More and more, priests become hermaphrodites. Being hermaphrodite is a way of being an artist of the absurd.

You, too, can be an artist of the absurd, but you'd be ashamed to call yourself one. Could you walk down the street peeing and pooping? I, because I am a shameless person, agree to continue with the dynamics of the evolution of the art of the 20th century and create the art of the absurd. If you laugh at it, all the better. Fucking is another kind of art of the absurd.

Works of art of the absurd:

.- To fuck with an unpeeled prickly pear.

.- Self-masturbate in the middle of Saint James Square in Barcelona

.- To piss next to a tree in Les Rambles of Barcelona.

.- Shit in front of the main entrance of the Louvre museum.

.- Castrate all those who hate you, without saturating them. It's even better that there are many of them.

.- To get dressed in a chapel cassock and bless everyone.

.- Farting in front of the Minister of Culture.

.- Climbing a ladder, backwards, without underpants.

It makes no sense that what we call art is projected into a dissolution of art. Believe me, the dematerialization of art has occurred. I am writing to let you know that I want to continue with the dynamics of the evolution of art as the great artists who created movements such as Dadaism, Conceptual art, Situationism have done throughout the 20th century. Wonderful shit. My art is the art of pissing, of shitting.

Think, does the art of the absurd make any sense?
