“My art is not limited to the songs I create but also to the reaction it creates. I like to sit back and look at the whole thing as if it's a tornado that I'm controlling. It's creating chaos. When you create chaos, ideas are turned upside down, and everybody looks at things in a different way.” IfsWayLooksArtIdeasDifferentWholeSongCreatingArt IsDown AndChaosReactionsDifferent WaysUpside DownTornadoesThings Upside Down Author:Marilyn Manson
“One often forgets that even if art is a very successful field in contemporary culture, there are still a lot of people alienated by it. Even if people don't fully understand where my work is coming from, at least there's somebody who looks kind of sane standing in front of you and politely engaging with you. People react.” PeopleIfsLooksKindArtStillsCultureForgetSuccessfulFrontsFieldsArt IsStandingContemporarySaneEngaging Author:Tino Sehgal
“If you want to know what true art is: Go outside on a clear night, wait until it gets very, very dark, then look up! You will see no rules of composition, no evidence of superior technique. Yet, you will be staring into the very face of pure, unadulterated beauty and wonder. That is the unattainable Ideal for which I must constantly strive.” IfsKnowsWantLooksArtFacesNightWaitingDarkWonderClearPureArt IsEvidenceIdealsStriveTechniqueSuperiorsStaringLook UpCompositionUnattainable Author:Derek R.

“The system is the work of art; the visual work of art is the proof of the System. The visual aspect can't be understood without understanding the system.

“I have no idea of what it's going to look like when I start a piece. Making art is like having a relationship. You want to bring in some ideas, but if you don't allow it to develop naturally and speak to you as it develops, you end up imposing and projecting upon it.” IfsWantLooksArtIdeasEndsSpeakPiecesArt IsPlanningNo IdeaImposing Author:Nick Bantock
“Art is not just about what's great or expensive or scandalous or famous. It's a mirror we hold up that looks different to everyone who sees it, and whose beauty lies as much in us, and our capacity to dream.” LooksArtDifferentDreamLyingArt IsCapacityMirrorsExpensiveScandalous Author:Michael Kimmelman
“Our love of art is often quite temporary, dependent upon our moods, and our love of art is subservient to our demand for a positive self-image. How we look at art should account for those imperfections and work around them.” ShouldLooksArtSelfDemandArt IsAccountsMoodDependentTemporaryImperfectionOur LoveSubservientPositive SelfPositive Self Image Book:Discover Your Inner Economist: Use Incentives to Fall in Love, Survive Your Next Meeting, and Motivate Your Den tist Source: Discover Your Inner Economist: Use Incentives to Fall in Love, Survive Your Next Meeting, and Motivate Your Den tist
