Give Away

Philip Kienholz

 

 

 

Need the shelf space      take out the architecture books
Stack and box catalogued items      send out notice -- come and get them
Technical details, data tables, colour
Charts, histories of building
                                                  & drawing technique 

Gifting opens a positive value      new spatial voids
Possibilities that unknowns can enter
Mind’s empty spaces      room to move around
Proving ground      multiplicities of knowledge
To interact
Ease suffering of
Collapse or not
