The Heidelberg Project

(Heidelberg St, 20 August 2011)

Art is an exercise in control of an imagined world. Wealth diminishes the artistic urge, as it confers the powers to control the real. Art is an advertisement, an identity broadcast. Age diminishes the artistic urge; over time, one will have been discovered by sufficiently many. Art is a desperate plea to gods in whom one does not believe. Desperation wears out. The art that lasts is a conversation.
