Prvo sam razmišljao šta bi to danas uopšte vredelo slikati,
s obzirom da sam ja istocnoevropski, da sam iz Srbije,
da je odrzana i ta poslednja istocnoevropska izlozba;
da volim da idem u šoping u Bec, da su mi novi mediji dosadili,
da je dosadan «aktivizam u kontekstu», da u stvari volim novu britansku umetnost, da mislim da je jednostavno najbolje da i mi sada pocnemo da pravimo takvu umetnost, da kopiramo, i da to sve nekako dobro izgleda, da bude veliko, glatko i sjajno, da obavezno bude u ulju, iako je to stvarno mrtvo, ali sad je opet nekako in;
drugo, da ni u kom slucaju ne bude odavde nego da bude iskopirano delo nekog drugog, ko je bolji umetnik ili dizajner i da je taj sa zapada; iz Engleske, SAD ili ako je u pitanju dizajn, onda moze i sa Tajvana, da ne bude «novi medij» jer su boring data analysis i power mapping, da jednostavno ne bude previše pametno, nego više sexy, nekako neinformisano, zapravo informisano neinformisano.

Da onda zelena bude u mom novom stanu, roza iznad stola za kojim se jede, a nomoney u nekom jako skupom i polupraznom butiku, downtown.

At first I thought about what would be worth painting at all today, since I’m an East-European [artist], from Serbia,
and there has already been held this last East European Show;
I thought about how I like to go to Vienna for shopping, how I’m bored with new media, with “activism in context”,
how I actually like New British Art, and how I think it would be simply the best if now we started creating such art too, to copy, and it should look good, it should be large, smooth and shiny, should definitely be done in oil - although that is really dead - but again, it’s in;
next, content should on no accounts be from here but copied from somebody else, someone who’s a better artist or designer and from the West, from England, or the USA or – if it’s design – Taiwan as well; it shouldn’t be “new media”, because data analysis and power mapping are so boring, it simply shouldn’t be too smart, but more like sexy, uninformed; actually, informedly uninformed.

Then, the green should hang in my new apartment, pink above the dining-room table, and nomoney in some posh, gallery-like designer’s store, downtown.
