Fuck Committees, Tibor Kalman.
Tibor Kalman was a big influence on my thesis show work in Carbondale. This text is from “Tibor Kalman, Perverse Optimist” edited by Peter Hall and Michael Bierut, pub. Princeton Architectural Press (September 1, 2000). Upon reading this text i knoew i had to convene my own committees to decide on my projects for me. ;)

How many Fuck Committees did the establishment have? Apparently a page worth. I hear the infighting is obscene.
yeah– i’m not sure i entirely agree with Tibor on this one now, but as a gesture i love it and at the time it made total sense, i was a grad student and my whole life was administrating — so i made art about administration…
Oh, I was just making a play on words “Fuck Committees” vs Fuck “Committees”. Obviously it wasn’t as funny as it seemed at the time— Were you seated on the Fuck Committee? Was it a long-standing position? Did the play rough, or bend over backwards to please? Sorry, I’ll stop.
it required a lot of exertion. there was plenty of back and forth before we came to a conclusion on how to move forward.
