Casey Reas: The Thing that Makes the Thing is More Interesting than the Thing
U-M Stamps School of Art & Design • Casey Reas: The Thing that Makes the Thing is More Interesting than the Thing
“Where there is selection there is art.” —BH Liddell Hart.
“A painting to me is primarily a verb, not a noun, an event first and only secondarily an image.”
Art is the experience of what you’ve felt inside.
Beuys believed everybody was an artist. He once said "every sphere of human activity, even peeling a potato can be a work of art as long as it is a conscious act," suggesting that every decision should be thought out and attempt to make or contribute to a work of art which in the end is society.
“I think that may be the highest purpose of any work of art, to inspire someone else to save themselves through art. Creating creates creators.”
― Jeff Tweedy, Let's Go (So We Can Get Back)

An artist is a self-employed self-expressor.
A creator is a self-employed commercial expressor.
First comes the awe: can you believe this? Look at this video of a man running backwards on a treadmill!
Then, the panic: given art's decidedly specific turn to "man in sweats running backwards on treadmill" motifs, will art as we know it become obsolete?
Absolutely not.
Culture, or Art, is the response to society. The deviation.
