Most important lesson:
Don’t distrust the work that takes 10 seconds rather than 10 weeks. Its about selecting the strongest work
Also:
Do what the work wants you to do, not what ‘you’ ‘want’ to do
Guerilla-ness, grab a hoody
The body;
-fragments, ananoymisation
-be a subject
(a Subject, ha ha.)
-trust “sudden enlightenment” even if you need a project to get in every day but deviate and follow the fun
(need a project, like your mum ‘needs a project’)
-don’t fall into the trap of the grand project
