“Extracts from ‘Notes in Duration’:
“A static thing, in terms of impulses to the brain, is a repetitive event. Whether the locus for consideration is ‘static’ or ‘moving’, we deal with time-spans of attention, the engagement of cognition and memory within the context of art-behaviour. Neither objects nor events are for the most part accessible. They are rarely ‘on show’. Since they are intentional, meaningful signs, this is of no consequence: once an idea is established ‘in mind’, it has entered the circuit of (art) ideas, and it won’t go away, except through debate within that circuit.” – A.M. Catalogue to Festival of Expanded Cinema, 1976.
