"...the mere gaze of an object cannot engage us (completely). Each look flows into a careful examination, each examination into a meditation, and each meditation takes us into a connection. With each attentive look into the world we already begin to theorise about it. If the abstractions we fear is to be harmless and the experience we hope for is to be real and useful, we need to engage skilfully with consciousness, self-reflection, a sense of freedom, and - to use a daring word - a sense of irony."
Johann Wolfgang Goethe
preface of ‘The Theory of Color’
Anyway, instead of Seabreeze I'm going to go to the conservatory and then I'm going to have a concert in Highland Park underneath the statue of Goethe at around 5pm. Then I'm going to go see Grizzly Man at the Eastmanhouse at 8pm. And then around 10pm or so I'll be going to Lux.
