EPICURUS

341–270 BCE

Ataraxia (Etheraurarity)

Epicurus: the goal is untroubled tranquility, achieved by limiting desire to the natural and necessary. CoCA's Etheraurarity (Vol. I Foreword) — letting care create the aura and sharing it lightly — is Epicurus translated for the aesthetic register. The institution does not pursue prestige. Prestige, like the unnecessary desire, troubles. We pursue care, which is closer to the garden. The garden is the gallery.
