Urs [also] talks about the hypothetical fairness of the Swiss, which is not fairness. If you ask a Swiss what bad character is, he will ask you what you mean by bad character. It's really just a vulgar search for the feeling of not feeling responsible [Swiss style], because the search for fairness is obviously useless. You'd rather not be fair, because striving for fairness looks ridiculous. When you do something wrong, you don't feel bad because you know that it is acceptable to do something that is unjust, [this is part of the doctrine of predestination and basically left-handed right-wing]. You need not to worry about fairness if anything is preordained. But fairness goes far beyond language, it means dealing with something bigger. The most interesting and important artists are fair or promote fairness. It's fairness with a twist. Check out some artists: Chris Burden, Martin Kippenberger, Bruce Nauman, Cady Noland, Hugo Markl, Cindy Sherman, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Andrea Fraser and Robert Smithson. These are artists whose art is based on fairness as a driving force, as a starting point and arrival. A fair public and a fair private sphere do not have to contradict each other. THE GENERAL
