we are preparing for out posthumous<br />
exhibition but ART IS DEAD and the old<br />
naive way of thinking, there are no pro-<br />
found thoughts only functional ones. the sense<br />
is already DEAD and the meaning is losing its<br />
function. only that stays alive that functions<br />
biologically or socially. art lost its social func-<br />
tion by the advent of machine, remaining on<br />
the level of manual production art according<br />
to marx and contra marx still functions only as<br />
a prop of history. in museums. this and such<br />
function of art is pseudo-social. these are<br />
also the real causes of historical gap<br />
between the society and this quasi-art of<br />
its. the dimensions of this gap have been<br />
definitely determined, the world has<br />
changed, the art remained at the begin-<br />
ning of the nineteenth century. despite of<br />
its efforts in two directions, to impose<br />
itself on society as an avant-garde and to<br />
adapt to the machine civilisation. the time<br />
of gorgonauting has passed. and the<br />
epoch of the naive way of thinking too.<br />
the revolution of consciousness is taking<br />
place. a functional one. moscow 26.<br />
