Since the last time I wrote something here, I have sold a few more paintings - in case you were wondering. They sold for next-to-nothing but I did make a profit of about 5 dollars on each one. I told myself that it was better than nothing. I only sell the stuff I don't like too much. My best stuff I am holding back for when I become famous. If that never happens, I have left instructions to my heirs that they should just burn everything.

John Cage
The notorious composer John Cage wrote a piece of avant garde music entitled 3 minutes of silence. It does not matter when or where - that is not terribly relevant. The actual number of minutes of silence could be 3 or 3.5 or I don't know. That's not relevant either. People actually take that seriously. The piano player actually sits for the length of time indicated in the "score." It is absurd. In the art world, what would be the equivalent of such a stupid thing? A blank wall with a small label on the side with the title "Blank Wall" printed on it? I know about some well-known artist who applied white paint to a white canvas then gave it a title and sold it to some ultra-sophisticated art patron for I don't know how much - lots of money. Real money. That would not be the same as John Cage's "silence."
