Back to Domestic Adventures Written on 18-Jan-2010 by albertobI went to see Pop Life at the Tate last week. It was about artists whose life is indistinguishable from art, people who transform their own personal lives in a art performance.
Art is not an activity that happens in an art gallery or a studio, it's a code to read the Reality and to be able to transform it.
Very few people is able to make sense of it, it implies a difficult compromise, intelligence, talent and commitment. But some of them do, like the ones in the video bellow.
PS. Every time I find more parallelisms between Art and Humor. Bill Hicks, Wes Anderson and Monty Python are now listed among my favorite contemporary artists; Duchamp, Hirst, the Chapman Brothers, among my favorite comedians. The creative process is the same, the format of the output differs slightly but the goal is shared: to break the logical flow of normality for an instant, opening the gates for crude love, knowledge and imagination, naked in front of our eyes *.
*As Graham Chapman did in The Life of Bryan.
