"Erasing the Rules" Robert Rauschenberg at San Franciso MOMA museum of modern art

You can only erase the rules when you know the rules but this is not the case in this study of an artist's practice. He erased a De Kooning just to proof that art is worthless unless we understand its worth. He pushed the envelope of perceiving art to the outer rims of mindspace to show that what is identifiable is also just an imaginary trick our brain is good at.

The good is in the bad in the proliferation of fresh thoughts that eliminate the odor of old and stale thinking.

Some artists art born to challenge the norm of acceptability and in doing so allowing us to experience other versions of ourselves as well.
Taste is mutable and not fixed on the pallet of time. Perception shifts as the collective membrane is expanded by concepts of worth, value and price.
Rules are made to be abandoned like a sinking ship at the moment when society hits the icy dogma of an area that masks itself as freedom but peddles Fascism at the end of the day claiming to save us from the end times.
Artists are the flag wavers to alarm us to become our own heroes and now is one of these moments not to be missed.
"It's time to erase the old rules once more and write a fresh chapter that serves more then the self declared elite.
