Suburban Primitive Manifesto #'s 6 & 7

#6 The more times a work is viewed the more likely and the faster normalization will take place. A perfect example of this would be our familiarity with computers.We take many of the amazing task they perform for granted and yet only a short time ago this was the stuff of science fiction. Familiarity does not breed contempt but rather boredom. The same can be said for fashion, what is new, exciting and possibly even shocking today will most likely wind up on out department store shelves tomorrow and hardly warrant a second look. #7 To avoid the normalization process art must have elements contained within that elude the logical mind. Similar to the past cries of the Surrealist, the work must at least in part emerge from the subconscious. If one feels that they "understand" a work completely then they will cease to ask questions to themselves and the work loses the power to stimulate thought.
