People are always wondering if I am an artist or political activist or politician. Maybe I'll just clearly tell you: Whatever I do is not art. Let's say it is just objects or materials, movies or writing, but not art, OK?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Art is an expression of who you are. Parts that I play are my sculptures.
Politics is politics; art is art. If you play a political role, you have to stop being an artist.
I studied political science and international relations, so I never considered myself an artist.
I make clothes people can wear; I don't make art.
My philosophy is that I'm an artist. I perform an art not with a paint brush or a camera. I perform with bodily movement. Instead of exhibiting my art in a museum or a book or on canvas, I exhibit my art in front of the multitudes.
Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.
To be an artist is not a matter of making paintings or objects at all. What we are really dealing with is our state of consciousness and the shape of our perceptions.
I am an artist and a political being as well.
Art, unlike the trades in the artistic capacity of fashion and food, can literally be anything. It can be the negation of itself and conceptually not present.
I'm an artist, I'm not an activist.
