It's Good To Sit On The Floor Here by Myrna Minx, Herbie Hatman

Often it is nice to sit and look at things which require a bit more in depth inspection.
We went to Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University with the sole intent of reading the entirity of their Jenny Holzer's art piece. We sat for what seemed to be about twenty five minutes before we started to see some text repeat. Lots of kernels of interest. Our favorite was: "If you appear to be useless no one will feed you."
It is good to sit on the floor there. Worthwhile and much more accommodating than standing.

her best pieces are often looked over; small plaques in utilitarian museum spaces with sayings like, "THE MOUTH IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THOSE PLACES WHERE THE DRY OUTSIDE MOVES TOWARD THE SLIPPERY INSIDE."
she's so great.
DIE FAST AND QUIET
WHEN THEY INTERROGATE YOU
OR LIVE SO LONG
THAT THEY ARE ASHAMED
TO HURT YOU ANYMORE
i hope i got that spacing right.
WHEN YOU'RE ON THE VERGE OF DETERMINING THAT YOU DON'T LIKE SOMEONE, IT'S AWFUL WHEN HE SMILES AND HIS TEETH LOOK ABSOLUTELY EVEN AND FALSE.
"If you appear to be useless no one will feed you."

THE BIGGER YOU WRITE IT
THE MORE PEOPLE READ IT
I was just saying to anna one last night that I like Jenny Holzer's work. And there you are.
