OK, for shits and giggles this came to me: What would it be like to outline a plan to be an art addict. Here's what Guggenheim did: she found a couple mentors. She held art exhibits. She also had money and connections. But part of her art "addiction" was paving the way for other artists. Point being the externally-focused orientation of her art addiction. I find myself spending lots of my internet browsing time looking at art. Hmmm.
Oh me too with the bed. Honestly, some times I couldn't be bothered and it's my middle-finger to all the Morning Routine freaks. Shh don't tell anyone. xo
I had to sleep on this. It's great that you deconstructed Guggenheim's approach. She sounds like a social giant, and I have met a few of those hyper-connected icons in my life (and I am not one of them so far). That said, I believe anyone can do anything they set their mind too. I have some high fashion items but otherwise mostly art made by my family and friends, which I consider precious though they may lack investment value. My stylist Antonio holds art openings at his salon sometimes, and has rotating exhibits in good taste. Do you need a space? Maybe you can have a party space and incorporate art--I know people who do that. I lack social giantism but I can see you making it work.
Regarding the Morning Routine, I was inspired by a book called The 5 AM Club, and this past October began getting up at 4:40 and doing exercise, reading, and contemplation. I still get up at that time three to four days per week, and those days are good days. Other days I give the middle-finger to life, and sleep as long as I want. I've read varying reports about other writers--what time to get up and what schedule to keep--but I've done some of my best work staying up all night and publishing at, say, 6 a.m. I try to keep some semblance of order in my life but if I'm on a roll, I keep going, and it feels exalted to me.
Anderson, I like your style! A braiding of routine and middle-fingering. I also find that the way I start a day and set the tone for the day and sometimes I like to loll about and then things kick in in the afternoon. "Social giantism" --haha, yeah, that doesn't fit me in the society-lady kind of way either. I don't need a space however that's a fun idea for a party. XOXO
Cool post, thank you. I would like to be an art addict. Some days I have a morning routine and make my bed. Others I prioritize sleep.
