The differences between revolution in art and revolution in politics are enormous. Revolution in art lies not in the will to destroy but in the revelation of what has already been destroyed. Art kills only the dead.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes art is ahead of revolution.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
The modern tradition is the tradition of revolt. The French Revolution is still our model today: history is violent change, and this change goes by the name of progress. I do not know whether these notions really apply to art.
Art is about play and about transcendent meanings, not reducible to politics.
To me art is a form of manifest revolt, total and complete.
Art removes boundaries and makes the world brighter. It is the common language for people all over the world. But politics are the opposite completely. Politicians, their very meaning is based on the lines they draw.
Politics is politics; art is art. If you play a political role, you have to stop being an artist.
Revolution is about the need to re-evolve political, economic and social justice and power back into the hands of the people, preferably through legislation and policies that make human sense. That's what revolution is about. Revolution is not about shootouts.
Art has nothing to do with politics. It is the freest thing in the world.
Like art, revolutions come from combining what exists into what has never existed before.
