art attached blame business came dutch movies relatively stable starting
I think it's probably the Dutch who are to blame for starting the whole 'art business', because before they came along, art was attached to relatively stable structures, and it was everybody's. It was like going to the movies.
art happen singing true
The making of a whole person and the creation of true individuals can only happen by singing and dancing and making art.
art ask becomes beliefs core design due failure future last open process question questions spaces viable
Due to the failure of politics, which has become a process of middle-management, art has become one of the last open spaces to question core beliefs and to design a viable future. Art becomes an open space where we can ask fundamental questions about ourselves.
art artwork requires
It's wonderful to see art in a museum, but it is institutionalised. I don't like the idea of the artwork as something that requires special conditions. I would like it to be universal.
art money spent
Public money should be spent on art but through individuals not committees.
art motivation inspiration
Art is not about objects of high monetary exchange. It's about reasserting our firsthand experience in present time.
art thinking desire
I have to say that I reject somewhat the distinction between something called art and something called public art. I think all art demands and desires to be seen.
beautiful art everyday
Making beautiful things for everyday use is a wonderful thing to do.. making life flow more easily.. but art confronts life, allowing it to stop and perhaps change direction.. they are completely different.
art believe views
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 mean past
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.
art understanding art-is
Art is not about understanding, it’s about experience.
art mean alive
Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive.
art moving eye
We are not moving towards some kind of goal. We are at the goal, and it is changing with us. If art has any purpose, it is to open our eyes to that fact.
art jobs acceptable
Art has to change things, and if it was immediately acceptable it would not be doing the job.
