Alex understand that "artist" and "revolutionary" are in the same category. Both pretentious, worn as badges, and loftily defined. Arrrrrt croaks, swollen with simple-mindedness and charlatan skins.
@grabloidian. Oh i didn't read your comment, but I agree with you now that i have. It was funny when i watched this clip that both "revolutionaries" held somewhat liberal/bourgeois conceptions that art should not include the social. That is how the bourgeois like art--It's value is all formal aspects like brushstroke and composition. I like lots of purely formal art, but I was expecting something else from a "revolutionary" panel.
I am so very thankful that I have ever met this man. 37:50 - 39:00. The greatest regret I have from Utah is that I never took a class from him. Nevertheless, I continue to learn so very much. Alex Caldiero is so alive to me here: "Capitalism has gotten to your fucking souls!"
lol artists are so tempermental. Your poem is terrible! and racist, it isn't revolutionary to complain Chinese people can't pronounce some English words. Really that's how capitalism crushes your soul? Chinese women probably made everything you own and whatever you make your art from, you don't even know their names. White people mispronounce my name EVERY DAY they do it on purpose, I don't carry on like that. You confirmed what the other guy said, you use art to show off about yourself.
That very idea of "art for art's sake" is a bourgeois liberalism projected on to the nature and essence of "art" and the whole process of creating. I don't think any of what I mentioned below would count in your category of "art for art's sake," but rather for a much more important sake... But I'm not sure if you were addressing my comment or not.
(Part 2 of 2) ...Carl Sandburg's work. Studs Terkel has a great book called "Working". Learn about the history of slavery as well as the Civil Rights movement in this country while cross referencing the history and influence of blues and jazz music!...listen to the fuckin' blues. Art maintains the individual/communal soul while preserving stories/history, and COMMUNICATES...speaks truth. Cut the revolutionary intellectual circle jerk gibberish and think about doing something revolutionary.
(Part 1 of 2) Anybody that is confused about the revolutionary role and power of art, I would reference the following: learn about the history of LABOR in this country and the history of the IWW, Joe Hill's role in the IWW, and the way they used both music and visual art (Adler's new book "The Man Who Never Died" is a good place to start)...then research a man named Ammon Hennacy (his autobiography is a good place to start "The Book of Ammon"). Listen to Woody Guthrie. Listen to Utah Phillips...
I love how outrageous and "arrogant" he felt Dave calling himself a revolutionary was in light of the fact that he continuously refereed to himself as an artist.
pity this monster humanunkind not.

I didn't know being a "revolutionary" meant you had to be preposterously pedantic.

Just as marx pulled his writings from the social environment, so do artists.

"The views of the speaker do not necessarily reflect the views of the Revolutionary Students Union as a whole ", which makes you all idiots.
