the new art.
1:23:04
l realized something that
all you hoity-toity types missed
1:23:08
drinking your coffee,
1:23:10
smoking your cigarettes
with your mistresses.
1:23:13
The way to reinvent art is not to make it
political-- far too small a step.
1:23:18
No, Rothman,
1:23:19
you could say you and I were
ploughing the same
1:23:22
furrows for a while,
1:23:23
but then I made
the bigger leap.
1:23:26
Politics is the new art.
1:23:29
Yes, Rothman,
my whole life
1:23:31
has been a detour
to this moment.
1:23:33
Everything l've struggled
to learn about art,
1:23:35
about design, color,
composition,
1:23:37
theater, opera,
architecture--
1:23:39
l'm gonna stuff it all into this
and make it live again.
1:23:42
l've always thought you to be
an intuitive futurist.
1:23:45
You're so disappointing.
1:23:48
Am I only acceptable to you
if you can classify me?
1:23:51
Isn't that emblematic
of the world we both despise?
1:23:55
What's happened to you?
You're suddenly so conventional.
1:23:59
Go deeper, you said.
1:24:01
Well, I went deep.
1:24:03
l went deeper than any artist
has ever gone before!
1:24:07
Where is the work, my dear?.
1:24:11
Where is the evidence
of this journey into the abyss?
1:24:15
I am the new avant garde!
1:24:19
I am the new artist
practicing the new art!
1:24:22
And politics
is the new art!
