š Agnes Martin - My Rabbit Hole of Exploration
This is where my journey with Agnes Martin begins - chapter 4, part 3 of A Simpler Life titled āvoluntary povertyā.
The first time I read this, I was at a loss for words. How can someone live like this? I suppose a better question is, what did Agnes Martin realize or see that most of us donāt? Somehow, she was able to see that these fleeting forms of pleasure donāt bring happiness anyway, like Rupert (Spira) says.
Something else fulfilled her and it wasnāt to be found in acquiring material objects.
Personally, I know these things donāt bring happiness, certainly not in and of themselves. Iāve known this for years yet I still fall back into these cycles of materialistic consumption. I must pay more attention to the moment that my awareness shifts from the internal to external.
šŗ Culture is not your friend
This isā¦concerning to say the least.
Stiegler mentions Adorno here, whom I made a note about in Capacities last week.
