Art Is Not About Objects Of High

It Is A Depressing Business Talking To Journalist.

Maybe This Is A Utopian View Of Art But I Do Believe That Art Can Function As A Vehicle, That It Isn't Just A Cultural Pursuit, Something That Happens In Art Galleries. Unless Art Is Linked To Experience And The Fear And Joy Of That, It Becomes Mere Icing On The Cake.

Art Is The Means By Which We Communicate What It Feels Like To Be Alive - In The Past, That Was Mixed Up With Other Illustrative Duties, But That Was Still Its Central Function That Has Been Liberated In The Art Called Modern.

The Elemental World We All Live In Is The Darkness Of The Body.

Art Has To Change Things, And If It Was Immediately Acceptable It Would Not Be Doing The Job.
