Choosing (A Game for Two Players): Green Beans, 1971. John Baldessari
"When choosing which ideas to follow, go with the ones that would be the most fun. We need to always find pleasure in making the art so that it never comes to feel like work, which lets us continue without a sense of drudgery."
Some interesting points made in this interview.
Got me looking at more of Baldessari's work . I love a lot of his older photographic work. It the kind of thing I look at, and then get annoyed that I didn't think of it first. Simple ideas are the best ideas.
arrr! i swear i posted a comment up here before but it hasn't shown up.

yes hazel the simplest ideas are always the best! you should look at Ockhams Razor which is a philosophical/theological/scientific principle which states this.
