John Baldessari
I will not make any more boring art
1971
Baldessari continued to put an ironic twist on his text based works, as indicated in his 'I will not make any more boring art' of 1971. Comissioned by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Canada to produce an original, site-specific work, he was ultimately unable to execute the piece in person. He suggested that the college students write, by their own will, the phrase "I will not make any more boring art" on the walls of the exhibition space. As a response, Baldessari recorded himself writing the phrase repeatedly in a notebook for the duration of a videotape.
