WHO ARE THE ARTISTS, AUTHORS AND FILMMAKERS ASSOCIATED WITH PAINPANG.COM?

FIRST THE SHORT ANSWER:

"NO ONE REALLY KNOWS.

NOT EVEN THEY DO."

THE LONG RESPONSE

PAINPANG.COM SPECIALIZES IN THE EXHIBITION OF UNKNOWN WORKS (BOOKS, MOTION PICTURES, SOUND RECORDINGS, PERFORMANCES AND ARTWORKS) BY UNKNOWN ARTISTS. THE MORE UNKNOWN THE BETTER. THESE ARTISTS ARE NOT ALL SCHOOLED ARTISTS. THEY ARE NOT ALL UNSCHOOLED ARTISTS. BUT THEY ARE ALL UNKNOWN ARTISTS. THEY ARE UNKNOWN ARTISTS DESIRING TO KNOW AND BE KNOWN. AND IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT ART (AND THEREFORE AN ARTIST) IS OR IS NOT, THEY MAY NOT EVEN BE ARTISTS. BUT THEY ARE STILL UNKNOWN. THEY ARE, FIRST AND FOREMOST, UNKNOWN. THEY ARE ALL EQUALLY UNKNOWN. BEING UNKNOWN; THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN FORMALLY NAMED, CATEGORIZED AND PIGEONHOLED. AND PAINPANG.COM IS NOT GOING TO DO IT FOR YOU. PAINPANG.COM IS ONLY A SMALL PART OF THEIR LIVES. AND IT DOES NOT WISH TO MINIMIZE WHO THEY ARE OR THE WORLD THEY COME FROM AND LIVE IN BY PRETENDING TO KNOW THEM AND MISREPRESENTING THEM. IN SHORT, PAINPANG.COM ITSELF DOES NOT KNOW WHO THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE MAY LEAD YOU TO BELIEVE. AND IF CAUGHT, HARMED, KILLED OR CHARGED IN THE COMMISSION OF ART CRIMES; PAINPANG.COM FORMALLY DISAVOWS ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THEM AND THEY FORMALLY DISAVOW ANY KNOWLEDGE OF PAINPANG.COM.

Q: "WHO ARE WE?"

A: "NO ONE KNOWS."

Q: "WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?"

A: "TRYING TO KNOW... AND BE KNOWN."
