Architect living between text, images and spaces.

The poet is not a creator but an alchemist. Poets helplessly on the side of the greatest good, the highest causes, the most just future.

Suppose some day it should turn out that 'mere' thought was in itself a recommendable object of production, and that all Material production was only a step towards this more precious immaterial one?" John Ruskin in 1860

[Swati Jain @inbetween3r]

I’m trying to get as close as possible to a paradox: subjectivity without culture, without an anthropocentric point of view.

[Swati Jain @inbetween3r]

I understood that the only sculpture that interested me was our own species, which is both entropic and degradable. My practice is essentially suicidal; it deals with immateriality from the trenches of a paradox: to be supposedly producing “sculptures.”

[Swati Jain @inbetween3r]

I am driven by these speculations about the “art” that might emerge at the point where art ends, after which it could be approached only by nonhuman or more-than-human awareness

What does it mean to produce something? What is it’s impact on the environment?

Smell*👃🏼

[Swati Jain @inbetween3r]

On my visit to Cooper Hewitt last week I noticed a new African cupboard used to place ceremonial things in the past. It smelled of sandalwood. This small transported me immediately to its inhabitant. And here it was in a museum space sterilized and ready re-represent.

“It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with.

It matters what stories make worlds. What worlds make stories.”
