QUOTES

"it’s always, always the darkest part of the picture that shines the most"

"sitting there looking at the young man in the black coat on a bench with a brown leather bag on his shoulder and the young woman in a purple skirt on a swing, because they’re still just sitting there, without moving, yes, like part of a painting, yes that too, but when I paint it’s always as if I’m trying to paint away the pictures stuck inside me, yes, the ones like this picture, of him and her sitting there, to get rid of them in a way, be done with them,"

"...and, I think, it’s the same with the writing I like to read, what matters isn’t what it literally says about this or that, it’s something else, something that silently speaks in and behind the lines and the sentences..."

NOTES

This took me a long time to read, the end is very harrowing however it also makes takes the give sense to everything that came before. In a way, it does feel like one long thought or understanding, and when the end comes, and you close the book, you just think "okay, I get it now", less I get the book but I get the Asle's. It's crushingly sad and true.

-"It has been claimed, controversially, that the art world seems to have developed its own jargon since the end of the 20th century. Alex Rule and David Levine (2012) characterised this internal jargon as ‘International Art English’: An English that has ceased to be English, but that over the past 25 years has absorbed the movements and articulation practices of the international contemporary art world, and that has thereby become a language style that dominates the work of creating, theorising about and, not least, selling art." (Page 6, Vassenden, 2013)
