I find myself thinking \u201eArt is not the problem nor the solution.\u201c I love art, just as I like sports, but I don\u2019t believe in taste, skill, or that individual artists matter that much (?). There are other issues more pressing. Art is something I ended up doing. I might as well not do it this time next year. I\u2019ll pick up anything that pays, or keeps me going in some way. How did you end up here? I\u2019m terribly scared of coming over to Cologne pretending that 1. I have something to give to you, 2. it\u2019s somehow super easy for me to receive what you want to give. To be open is not the same as accepting change or accommodating other voices. To let others in, in a way that doesn\u2019t destroy you: how? We have a few hours together. I\u2019m not sure if doing this is a good idea, whether we all should be doing something else. But I\u2019ve promised, you got to, we\u2019re here, this is what we do with our time, and on it goes. Let\u2019s stay true about being in a space together.<\/p>\n<p><em>Moods: Bitter, anti-productive, nihilist, loving, desperate, depressed, posi, lost, serious, giving up, mortal, present.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly: I\u2019ve done this before, and I\u2019ll make sure we\u2019ll be OK, however deep we might find ourselves in.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Info<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div class=\"single_inside_content\">\n<p>Kimmo Modig (b. 1981, Finland) makes talks and online commentary, while mainting a collaborative practice.
