Minor Art – curators Terry Durst and David Madigan

Reasonabilist Statement

If there isn’t a title card, the piece is untitled and the artist’s name appears on the piece.
If there isn’t an artist, or a title card, then you don’t exist.

That poignant moment when the piece fell from your pedestal and crashed to the floor.
No more piece, just pieces – we could commit suicide – and make no more mistakes,
or continue to live and fuck-up.  WE ARE MORE THAN VERY SORRY.

I couldn’t give a shit about the stupid incident.  All’s I know’s that we were measuring and
reacted to something else and WHAM!, down it went and I am coming to dinner.  I know Terry must feel real bad, I do.  Or maybe it’s awkwardness he feels.  I think I am a professional
sometimes but when something like this happens it makes you question your own position,
and respect other’s more, in respect to your own.

“We’re not sure yet” is a common expression of ours, and
“Maybe you should stick to vodka” really stuck.

P.S.  It’s well-hung, isn’t it?
Donations from winners to Church of REASONABILISM are accepted kindly.

Peace
David Madigan
