Varvara Stepanova, flyer for "The Death of Tarelkin", 1922.

Often mentioned only alongside her husband, Alexander Rodchenko, Stepanova was an accomplished artist in her own right. Along with this flyer, she also designed the sets for the production. While it’s not known if she designed the costumes for this production, the image is very similar to the geometric clothing she created for other plays.

The Dream of Reality: Heinz Von Foerster's Constructivism, Second Edition by Lynn Segal, 2001

What if there were no objective facts, no objective truth, no objectivity at all, only our belief in them? What if our consciousness itself is an unconscious invention, constructed out of logic and language?

Am I remembering wrong or is there some particular popular essay on why constructive mathematics is the way to go? After working through a weird proof that uses the law of the excluded middle to pop a bunch of propositions into existence out of nowhere I am feeling sympathetic lol

Doesn't this remind you of a constructivist relief from the early 20th century?

It is neither the composer nor the artist: It is the listener who makes the music.

if i were a fashion designer, i'd just resurrect varvara stepanova's early 20th century constructivist patterns & make them - affordably - from ethical fabrics, without shafting the producers & workers. these are the clothes i want to wear. she was a genius.

July 28 - the birthday of Joaquín Torres-García - Uruguayan-Spanish artist, one of the leading Modernists of Latin America. Some critics have defined him as a "seeker" who renounces acquired values and focuses on abandoning the imitative to reach the creative. His constructive painting admits a formal, plastic, and semantic reading of a spiritual nature.

Debating using logic and reason is an effective way to frustration and burn-out, instead reframe narratives which encrypt moral choices into stories:
