Art questions August 2020



Q: Who is your audience?

A: I don't have a specific audience in mind.

I want to give you experiences. Absence of strong art leads to more inexperienced populations.

I'm not one of those people who only know a small number of famous works.

Q: What do you think about visual artists who have started using speech more?

A: People will remember strong images and the way they feel. Understanding your medium means that you believe in the possibilities within that medium.

There are artists who think they're breaking rules, but they're just trying to destroy their own medium. As a visual artist, speaking will never be my main job.

The age of speech is the age of bullshit. When people are addicted to speech, anyone can say anything. People learn what to say in order to hide reality.

Speech worship is like spreading superficial noise. Today, it feels like you have to be grotesquely superficial for it to register.

Visual artists need visual skills. When you're a composer you're making music. You're not writing pamphlets.
