Letter: January 6, 2009

To my friends,
I can hear you.
I have been laying beside Daniel, hour after hour and day after day, watching the sights and listening closely to the endless horror of war.
I am devastated.
I seem to think, ironically, that if I watch constantly than we, Danny and I, shall hold the war back (even if only slightly).
I want to do more.
You know my work, somehow always reflects the gain of ideology beside the loss of lives and - I have imagined performing “About Love” in front of Parliament, on the main shopping area, inside a shelter, at the Art gallery, facing the sea.
I am futile.
Sincerely,
Adina

My Dear Alena,
I think I know how you feel when trying to have an influence during a state of War.
Art seems futile in the face of War; How can the Muses sing while the Bombs are falling!?
[There is such a saying in Hebrew ... have you a saying that has a similar meaning?]
I wanted to perform during the war, as a form of a protest, I suppose, but it felt ridiculous; I mean - Art can not scare War!
HA!

I will perform, though, in a fundraising event; a fundraising event for the Palestinians ...

All my work deals with Loss in the face of Ideologies and consequently Wars.

	Nick Land – An Experiment in Inhumanism
	Nick Land was a British philosopher but is no longer, though he is not dead. The almost neurotic fervor with which he scratched at the scars of reality has seduced more than a few promising academics onto the path of art that offends in its originality. The texts that he has left behind are reliably revolting and boring, and impel us to castrate their categorization as “mere” literature.
