Thinking Rock Text

by UDANO

I am not a rock just as the text in Rene Magritte's painting "Ceci n'est une pipe" says.

I am the representation of a rock. The artist of this studio decided to make one instead of getting a real one.

Out of money to buy one? Too heavy to transport a real one? Perhaps. But not quite the main reasons.

His idea for this L.E.D. (electronic text display) is to project his thoughts on me, a poor fake rock.

Even worse, every two weeks, he would invite a writer to compose a short tex for the thougth bubble

on top of me. There is already a line of writers lining up in his head. That's scary. I hate people

projecting their thoughts on me. All these writers, their problems, insecurities, insanity, sexual frustration mistaken as creative forces, financial problems misunderstood as a condition of genius, low self-esteem, arogant, stupidity, ect will become mine. I just don't want any of those. Those are not my shit, not my business. I am just a rock. I am cool. I am content. I am at peace with myself. I was made out of plaster, wood, and chickenwire 2 days ago.

The artist who brought me to life to thinks that a rock with a thougth bubble is a great ideas since rock tend to know a lot about history. It's like old people knows more things just by living a long life

Most us rocks lives longer that any human being so they must know more

For example, if one find a rock from the 1600, it might have seen buffalo roam the American continent, sat on by some Indians, peed on even.

That rock would have probably witness the whole history of America: the Mayflower settlers, their decendants and their conflicts with the natives, the competition between the races, the first motored car that came to replace the horse-drawn carriages.

But I have seen this world for only a few days, and all I see are art students and you. It's good to see you all: architect, art lovers, collectors, gallerists, wanderer, free-drink seekers, artists, artist wanabe....

I love to see you all but remember that I will hate you if you try to contact my owner to submit what you think I have in mind.
