Christine Kozlov (b. 1945, USA – d. 2005)
271 Blank Sheets of Paper Corresponding to 271 Days of Concepts Rejected, 1968

I would have a room full of paper if I had followed Christine’s example. Maybe a house. Although my productivity in idea rejection has significantly decreased over the last few years, and in particular over the last semester. But it is interesting to see another artist to make that internal process visible – and turning it into art at that. Then again, she did not exactly turn rejection of ideas into art, but rather representation of that happening, which is then perhaps more of the novelty in terms of the motif rather than kind. And yet, it triggers that kind of consideration that I find interesting. I am also trying to make works that can trigger new considerations and shifted perspectives.
