RE: The morgenseiten of Katharsisdrill 16 - Punk
I love that post on so many levels:
How it prooves, that a virtual friendship is possible here,
that there are actually real thinking people at this platform,
that listen and reflect about what other's write,
that can see (and express) the connection between visual art, music, language and history
that love quality and kitsch...
and Punk:
quality was a bogus. Some evil bourgeois control mechanism that was meant to hold us down. Everybody was equally good.
In my observation (here and elsewere) art is not about quality, it's not about creating the perfect piece, writing the perfect post (or comment) - it's about finding an audience and connecting with them. And yes:
Daring is an enormous force in art.
Art is sometimes made without an audience (or almost without), a lot of my production has been. And so different things are art. Punk and Mahler (who was a crazy perfectionist), just to name one. I am still struggling to get my head around this, but one thing is clear. Working is what matters for the simple reason that if you do not work you are not creating art.
