What Happens to Ideas

First post post-exhibition, if you catch my drift.

It's interesting reading back over the text which went up in the show, reflecting on my thoughts as I saw the ideas in the context of the work. It fitted the work surprisingly well, with the theme of 'telling stories' continually cropping in in the work of a number of the artists.

However, I have concerns over what happens to ideas once they leave security of the notebook (paper or virtual) and go public. I'm not certain, even now, that I stand by all that is in that piece of writing. After all, I did write it three weeks ago. I wonder if stories are enough. Is it worth giving up on the battle for objectivity? Of course, there is the ubiquitous Postmodern theory of relativism, which could be applied in support of the argument reproduced below. However, I argued in my MPhil thesis that this should not, necessarily, take from reasonable (and relatively watertight) judgment and interpretation.

I had moved away from this line of thinking, as you can see in the present piece of writing. Now, though, I am thinking that perhaps I have been a little hasty in rejecting these ideas.

Back to the critics I think, to see what I can see (to see what I can see, to see what I can see...) Sorry, to many nursery rhymes going round and round the mulbery bu... sorry round and round in my head.
