Art does not
Art does not belong to the artist. A work can be an obscene gesture, a painfully earnest attempt to communicate, a confession, or a combination of all three. Once it starts to merge with its surroundings, the artist loses control, and metamorphosis begins. A true artist aspires to greatness, yet does not give a damn. Individual attitudes and the structure of the system are not issues. Ideas springing from the gap between the two are.
