Maiia: Andres Caycedo's 2004 exhibition of poster art expressed the
collective consciousness. Which is a big part of what art is about...
"Shopping Makes You Free"
By collective conscience I mean the artworks are reflecting what the people think as examplified by the fact that Brindle Style's Voluntary Simplicity pages receive ten times the hits the art
pages do. Sustainable lifestyle is a global buzz transcending culture and language barriers.
"An artist is above all a human being, profoundly human to the core. If the artist can't feel everything that humanity feels, if the artist isn't capable of loving until he forgets himself and sacrifices himself if necessary, if he won't put down his magic brush and head the fight against the oppressor, then he isn't a great artist." -Diego Rivera
Maiia: I perceive a lack of faith in the mainstream community regarding the value of art. We will consume nasty little jingles we call music but we won't accept tawdry visual arts as easily...
Even Media Reform gets double the hits of Art.
Peace Making...
2009 collaboration for Peace planned for September
Lol-I'm just popping Andres Calamaro and Los Rodrigues in simply because it's in Spanish... dunno whether Andres likes it.
