THE GREATEST THING IN LIFE IS WHEN TIME STANDS STILL –
WHEN WE FORGET WHAT TIME IT IS –
WHEN WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS –
WHEN WE STAND WITH A WONDERFUL FEELING IN OUR BODIES
AND LOOK AT KENNETH’S ART.

FUCK HOLIDAYS
FUCK LEISURE

THE MEANING OF IT ALL IS THAT
THERE IS NO MEANING AT ALL
WHEN WE ACCEPT THAT
IT ALL MAKES SENSE

WE ALL WANT TO MEET OUR CREATOR
BUT WE MEET OURSELVES FIRST
TO LOOK AT ART – IS TO LOOK AT YOURSELF

KENNETH RASMUSSEN
IS THE PLANK MISSING FROM THE BRIDGE –
HE IS NOT A PEOPLE PLEASER –

HE FORGETS TIME AND PLACE
FUCK HOLIDAYS – FUCK ALCOHOL
WITH HIS KNITTED MIND HE SHOWS
THAT WE ARE CHINESE COPIES OF OURSELVES –

HIS GRAND WORKS
ARE THE WORLD’S LARGEST AND FIRST
WE ALL MARVEL
AS THEN WITH PORCELAIN AND PAPER
WHICH WE SAW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BYZANTIUM, YEAR 0
IT LAY AT A MARKET
AT THE TERMINUS OF THE SILK ROAD
IT HAD NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE

WE STAND HERE AT ARKEN WITH A WORLD SENSATION
IT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE
EVERYTHING KENNETH MAKES BREATHES

FUCK COLUMBUS SETTING SAIL INTO THE UNKNOWN
FUCK ALCOHOL –
BECAUSE THE NEW CRAWLS UP FROM THE “CASPIAN SEA”
TO JUMP INTO THE BLACK SEA AND AFTER THE BOSPHORUS
WASHES ASHORE SOUTH OF COPENHAGEN

ART HOWLS PAST –
ART SETS HUMANITY FREE –
LONG LIVE ART –
KENNETH RASMUSSEN FITS OUR TIME
