Q Talk to me about heresy. Is a heretic disposition – as embodied in your own work and
that of those who you respect – more enchanting to you than a revolutionary one?
A Yes! Yes! Yes!
Q Do objects exist independently of you?
A Yes! Yes! Yes!
Q How would you react to the classification of your work as ‘non-art’? By this
classification I don’t mean ‘anti-art’ (or an equivalently antagonistic reproach), but specifically
‘non art’: a use of art that remains constitutively foreign to the norms and aims governing the
properly artistic practice of art?
A Yes! Yes! Yes!
Q In line with some of the leading thinkers in contemporary realist philosophy, do you
concur that Nihilism, far from being some form of existential quandary, is in fact something of
a speculative opportunity?
A Yes! Yes! Yes!
ANNEXE /// NEU! RICHARD JOHN JONES: ‘PROH-SOH’ PA-PEER’ Part II
PROH-SOH’ PA-PEER* is a sustained exploration of the representational logic of the mainstream media – in particular, the role the media has in shaping the ideological predicates of contemporary political, activist and libidinal (in particular queer) subject positions.
* The exhibition’s title is a phonetic play on the word ‘prosopopoeia’: a rhetorical device in which a speaker or writer communicates to an audience by speaking as another person or object.
