lyrics

to objectify desire (Lawrence Weiner)
3:38

A “the” to a “a”
It’s the changing of
A “the” to a “a”

I’m very involved in trying
To objectify desire
How can you objectify desire?
And what does that constitute?
– in a non-romantic manner

Objectify desire
In a non-romantic manner
Objectify desire

It’s the changing
Of a “the” to a “a”
And how to take the universal
and turn the universal into a specific

Which in fact is ambiance…
(noise: gallery space)
The language of art is material

Objectify desire, objectify desire
It’s the changing of the status of the plinth
If I make a mistake
I make a mistake – mea culpa
And remember
I’m not a doctor writing a script,
I’m not a pilot with people
Dependent upon my life
To control the mise-en-scène
I decided not to explain
A “the” to a “a”
A “the” to a “a”
Objectify desire
In a non-romantic manner
Objectify desire
In a non-romantic manner

But to speak about the authenticity
Is making a sales pitch
To play the artist
Is again trying to set up some sort of a position
That people can read
I accept this
to a “a”
to a “a”
to a “a”
to a “a”

And as most things it might be complicated to begin with, but it’s pretty simple in the end
