“You witness the artists acting as witnesses, but they provide a point of view that's less monolithic. It's less official in a certain way. Many artists are speaking in the first person singular, as a reaction to dubbed-over media commentary. The thought is: "Enough with how we're represented by the media. Let me tell the story."” WayFirstsPersonsEnoughStoriesArtistCertainViewsActingMediaLet MePoint Of ViewReactionsWitnessOfficialsFirst PersonCommentary Author:Massimiliano Gioni
“On "Tonight" I think I was torn dreadfully between writing what I wanted to write, but keeping it in a style that would follow up what I had just done.

“I always want to encourage young artists. As the budgets get smaller, that might provide an opening for younger artists and more experimentation.

“Let me see: art and activism. I can always fall back on, "the question should be, what isn't political? Everything you do is political, even if it's abstract. You're making a political statement even if it's unwittingly." I think so much of art is unconscious anyway, the artist doesn't know the real reason they're doing it. They're just kind of going along with it intuitively.” ThinkingKindArtRealReasonPoliticalArtistFallArt IsLet MeActivismAbstractUnconsciousFall Back Author:Eric Drooker
“There are many kinds of richness, and the man who is rich because of money is the lowest as far as the categories of richness are concerned. Let me say it in this way: the man of wealth is the poorest rich man. Looked at from the side of the poor, he is the richest poor man. Looked at from the side of a creative artist, of a dancer, of a musician, of a scientist, he is the poorest rich man. And as far as the world of ultimate awakening is concerned he cannot even be called rich.” MenWorldWayKindArtistSidesWealthPoorMoneyCreativeRichHe ManMusicianConcernedUltimateScientistLet MeAwakeningDancerCategoriesLowestRichnessPoorestRich ManPoor ManCreative ArtCreative Artists Book:The World Beyond Time Source: The World Beyond Time
