John XII 24

We have no right to be “disconnected”; we must neither err “disconnectedly” nor strike the truth “disconnectedly”. Rather with the necessity with which a tree bears its fruit, so do our thoughts, our values, our Yes’s and No’s and If’s and Whether’s, grow connected and interrelated, mutual witnesses of one will, one health, one kingdom, one sun – as to whether they are to your taste, these fruits of ours? – But what matters that to the trees? What matters that to us, us the philosophers? From Nietzsche’s preface to On the Genealogy of Morality Paul Noble was born in 1963 in Dilston, Northumberland. He was one of five founding members of City Racing, an influential artists' space in London (1988-98), where he showed in 1990. His work has since been exhibited in London at Cubitt Gallery (1995), Chisenhale Gallery (1998), Tate Gallery (1999), and Whitechapel Art Gallery (2004); and internationally at the Albright Knox Gallery, Buffalo(2003), Museum Boymans van Beuningen, Rotterdam and the Migros Museum, Zurich (2005). Noble lives and works in London.
