The European Experience # 54

Where are the art works that are a product of here and now?

Where are the art works that are a product of someone who lives and know this world?

Wheer are the art works that represent life here and now?

The art work of the canon are beautiful. Stunning. They have achieved this timeless for a reason...

But...

Museums are graveyards and the canoncial works of art are tombstones.

I can't remember where I read it but it went like this...

"A museum is where art goes to die."

Maybe I'm a necrophiliac.

the art of now is all around you... but it will be determined as art by some dudes who aren't even born yet in a hundred years from now.

new theatre is very here and very now. for visual arts stuff, go to gallery shows. there are lots to go to and the openings are fun (cute boys). we can go together when you get back.
