The "Not" Theory raises the question, "How can one be free from
intellectual constraints?" It then gives a basic, elementary response
and reasoning. This begs the question, "Is it correct?" You will not
find the answer here. Instead, the book is an instruction
manual/preparation guide/workbook for testing the "Not" Theory: a
structure to bring together a group of 7 artists (from any medium) to
create an art project of any kind (i.e. a series of paintings,
sculptures, poems, photographs, a video, theater, dance, multi-media
project, etc.) It is broken down into three phases: Constraints (X),
Destruction (Adding Y to X), and Freedom. The group must experience
Phase I together, in the format given. However, Phase II and III cannot
be forced onto the group. They must choose to continue testing the
theory. Last question: "Is freedom possible?" It is up to you to
determine.
