Paul Klee . Zwitschermaschine

That year was the occasion for me to bring to life what an artist finds himself usually doing in a muffled world, rarefied, detaches from the the material world. Art cannot and must not be the producht of a curated selection to be exhibited in galleries, fairs, and biennales,... Art and creativity, distinctive prerogative. Art must be a means, not an end. A means not only to interpret reality but also to try and change it and it must not reproduce itself within a system without references. When I stopped exhibiting to join the movement that was already becoming apparent in February 1977, I clearly perceived that it was time, finally, to get rid of “ art “, to kill it so that it so that it could be reborn, and to concretely achieve it in the flow of daily life.
