There's an axiom I live by: 'There is no art without politics.' You either choose to engage it, or you choose political apathy. This ties in with ideas around real-time performance and feedback.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any form of art is political if you make it that way.
All art is political in the sense that it serves someone's politics.
Politics itself is so unsexy, isn't it? But when the politics in creative works are really explored - not used as a vehicle - the results can be really interesting.
Politics is politics; art is art. If you play a political role, you have to stop being an artist.
I don't understand how any good art could fail to be political.
I think there is a debate in the arts about, you know, whether we must strive for art for art's sake, and you know, kind of try to keep political debate out of our work. And to that I say, I'd like you to show me an example of, you know, this so-called apolitical art. I don't think there's any such thing.
A lot of politics in art is just institutional critique, which, in my opinion, is not all that political.
Politics is the art of realizing what there is to realize.
Art has nothing to do with politics. It is the freest thing in the world.
Politics is the art of preventing people from busying themselves with what is their own business.
