MINIMALISM AND THE RHETORIC OF POWER
Based on a text by Anne C. Chave
The face of mimimalism,
is the the face of capital,
the face of authority,
the face of the father.
Minimalism and the rhetoric of power.
Nothing exceeds the power of discourse,
and nothing escapes from the discourse of power.
The face of capital,
the face of authority,
the face of the father.
Minimalism and the rhetoric of power.
OH yeah the rhetoric of power.
Money, the phallus, the consept
as operators of meaning.
Art that generated a sphere,
above all personal feeling.
The most wonderful thing,
made of a single stone.
The lenght and hight which were the same.
And the whole a single block.
Fluorescent light in a tube,
Its all so plainly phallic.
The spesific angle he poised the fixture,
represents the erect cock.
Nothing exceeds the power of discourse,
and nothing escapes from the discourse of power.
The face of capital,
the face of authority,
Oh yeah the face of the father.
Minimalism and the rhetoric of power.

Based on a text by: Joseph Kosuth Formalist criticism is no more than analyses of the physical attributes of particular objects, witch happens to exist in a morphological context. But this doesn’t add any knowledge to our understanding of nature of function of art. Nor does it comment on whether or not the objects analyzed are works of art. Since formalist critics always bypass the conceptual elements in works of art. Exactly why they don’t comment on the conceptual elements in works of art is precisely because formalist art becomes art only by virtue of it’s resemblance to earlier works of art. The one thing to say about art is that it is one thing. Art is art as art and everything else is everything else. Art as art is nothing but art. Art is not what is not art. The strongest objection one can raise against a morphological justification for traditional art is that morphological notions of art implied a concept of options in art. But such a concept of the of the nature of art makes it indeed impossible, to question the nature of art. And this questioning of the nature of art is a very important concept in understanding the function of art The one thing to say about art is that it is one thing. Art is art as art and everything else is everything else. Art as art is nothing but art. Art is not what is not art. Art’s only claim is for art. Art is the definition of art.

Happiness is reduced to Laughter in the pleasure Industry. Through the filter of the Culture Industry. the only thing acceptable is meaninglessness. The laughing Audience is a Parody. the Industry makes mockery of Seriousness. Works of Art is unashamed Aesthetics. The culture industry is prudish Pornography. Works of Art is Style with Ideology.
