The Artist’s Job

“Art has been valued and given importance through the artist, regarded as the one who creates something wondrous and beautiful. At a certain point, artists within that way of thinking often distance themselves more and more from the community and society. In Thai education, this system of teaching and learning art is still being used.”

“When art is no longer the center of the universe, then artists are not either. This has been a question asked of artists since the time of Walter Benjamin. He spoke about this long ago, and it has been written about for a long time.

“In the modernist view, the artist was seen as something close to a superhuman — exalted as someone with supreme specialness, with an intuition that could not be explained. When the artist was elevated above us, above the university guard or the noodle vendor next door, the artist became like a kind of demi-god, regarded as more special than anyone else.

“In fact, in contemporary thought, the artist is like a motorcycle taxi driver — it’s just another profession. We work within a framework of knowledge that is not some kind of miracle. And art itself depends on other bodies of knowledge.”

“ศิลปะถูกตีค่าและให้ความสําคัญ กับตัวศิลปินว่าเป็นผู้เนรมิต สิ่งสวยงามวิเศษ จนถึงจุดหนึ่งศิลปินที่อยู่ในกลุ่มแนวคิดแบบนั้น ตัวเขาเองก็มักจะ ถอยห่างออกจากชุมชนและสังคมมากขึ้นเรื่อยๆ ซึ่งในระบบการศึกษาไทยเองยังคงการเรียนการสอนศิลปะโดยใช้ระบบนี้อยู่”

“เมื่อศิลปะไม่เป็นศูนย์กลางจักรวาล ศิลปินก็จะไม่เป็นด้วย ซึ่งศิลปินเคยถูกตั้งคำถามนี้มาตั้งแต่สมัย Benjamin Walter เขาพูดเรื่องนี้มานานแล้ว หนังสือก็เขียนมานานแล้ว

“เดิมทีในแนวคิดแบบสมัยใหม่ ศิลปินค่อนข้างที่จะเป็นอภิมนุษย์ เพราะว่าถูกยกย่องให้มีความพิเศษสูงสุด มีญาณทัศน์ (intuition) ซึ่งเป็นอะไรที่อธิบายไม่ได้ แล้วพอศิลปินคนนั้นถูกยกย่องให้มีความพิเศษเหนือเรา เหนือยามที่เฝ้าตึกมหาวิทยาลัย หรือเหนือคนขายก๋วยเตี๋ยวข้างบ้าน ศิลปินก็จะกลายเป็นเหมือนสมมุติเทพ ถูกมองว่าพิเศษกว่าใคร

“จริงๆ แล้วในแนวคิดร่วมสมัย ศิลปินก็เหมือนกับคนขับวินมอไซค์ มันเป็นอาชีพหนึ่ง และเราก็ทำงานโดยกรอบความรู้ที่ไม่ใช่เรื่องวิเศษอะไร แล้วศิลปะเองมันก็ต้องอาศัยชุดความรู้อื่น”

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.”

The law of cause and effect

The law of cause and effect is a universal law which specifically states that every single action in the universe produces a reaction no matter what.

Every single effect within our world, upon our earth has a cause, an original starting point.

All paths have an original first step and from that first step comes a chain reaction of events with further offshoots spanning out in all directions and so on duplication and replication takes place.

All your thoughts and your human behaviour and all your movements affect the entire universe according to the law of cause and effect.

Every single item within the universe is relative and that nothing is separate. Therefore if you move your hand, you are moving this space which surrounds it and that space is connected to all space within the infinite universe.

Therefore all inanimate objects of the universe are all connected within the same space and occupy that exact same space or mind, there is no separation and so if you move your hand, you’re moving the space which is connected to all things.

“Humans are prone to the principle of least effort, often known as the ‘path of least resistance,’ which means they’ll go for whatever option requires the least work. Hypocrisy allows you to appear principled without having to be so, which is much easier than adhering to strict principles.”

The Stone Mind

Hogen, a Chinese Zen teacher, lived alone in a small temple in the country. One day four traveling monks appeared and asked if they might make a fire in his yard to warm themselves.

While they were building the fire, Hogen heard them arguing about subjectivity and objectivity. He joined them and said: There is a big stone. Do you consider it to be inside or outside your mind?’

One of the monks replied: ‘From the Buddhist viewpoint everything is an objectification of mind, so I would say that the stone is inside my mind.’

‘Your head must feel very heavy’, observed Hogen. ‘if you are carrying around a stone like that in your mind.’
