Symbology

Page history last edited by Evan Donovan 3 yrs ago

From the Series x Statements on Art by x Artists (12.31.05, rev. 2.19.06)

 

"To the artist is given the task of developing

a unique symbolic vocabulary using common symbols.

Rigorously intellectual, the artist works where others

play,

filling in the spaces of significance,

exploding and reestablishing relation.

 

There is no voice the artist cannot appropriate

in the service of his or her ultimate task.

The test of art is not whether it is pleasant,

but whether it is

conceptually sound."
