The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sky
I really love this song by the Killers. There's such poetry and heartfelt sentiment embued in every line.
( The week has been a bit topsy-turvy. )
( The week has been a bit topsy-turvy. )
Yes. This. It's hard to do sometimes, but really it's the best way to think about it.
It *is* hard - but it's worse to have regrets and negative headspaces, isn't it? Just gotta keep truckin'.
I wonder how many of those artists would consider themselves punk? It could be because we've seen it all before and we're less repressed...
Yes, very good point. I hadn't really thought about that - probably because I'm *so* indoctrinated with (what would have been perceived in the 70s as) shock images from films and advertising and tv programmes that I didn't think further.
But that was really the heyday of performance art. It's not done so much these days -
Yes, good point. I mean, I suppose you have someone like Christo who's more into wrapping things up, than exposing them. Or there are different levels of shock - like Tracy Emin's bed, or a display of anti-war posters on display in the Tate Britain. Or you have someone like Laurie Anderson who's got older and wiser...
Yay thinky thoughts! Also very appropriate icon ;)
