Andrei Codrescu interview 7/11/07

Eva Lake of Voice America- The Art World, interviewed poet, writer and NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu on being an artist. He is fascinating to listen to and spoke about artists being public expressers, betraying the mysteries and achieving a balance between silence and expression.

He also talked about artists creating value in their art with integrity. He had some interesting things to say about art being about fashion, style and what is in vogue, particularly the art biennales that encourages successful artists to create shocking and original works.

He mentioned the idea of turning corporate values against the corporations by using the same tactics the corporations use to push their agengas. A radical idea... design anyone?
