> STATEMENT
Art Language?
I wonder how what we know prevents us from knowing what is not yet known?Put differently,how does our vocabulary restrict us from vocalizing the not yet spoken?How do we find words for what lingers beyond words?Is there a language able to reveal that which dictionary words shuts close?Which speaks where words are silent? Is it perhaps the voice of art?The wordless language that is able to voice that which cannot be said?And I also wonder if art is not perhaps the door which can take us into the not yet known?Outside and inside ourselves?Is art not perhaps a window to what we are, but not yet aware that we could be?To free ourselves from words ,awake in us what we are not even aware of sleeps in us? Perhaps we create ourselves when crossing the boundary of words to do art,in order for art to create us?Not the product,but the process;not the destination,but the journey. prof.Dirk.Kotze.Pretoria.
