JB:Art alone makes life possible -- this is how radically I should like to formulate it.
I would say that without art man is inconceivable in physiological terms.
There is a certain materialist doctrine which claims that we can dispense with mind and with art because man is just a more or less highly developed mechanism governed by chemical processes. I would say man does not consist only of chemical processes, but also of metaphysical occurrences.
The provocateur of the chemical processes is located outside the world.
Man is only truly alive when he realizes he is a creative, artistic being.
I demand an artistic involvement in all realms of life.
At the moment, art is taught as a special field which demands the production of documents in the form of art works. Whereas I advocate an esthetic involvement from science, from economics, from politics, from religion -- every sphere of human activity.
Even the act of peeling a potato can be a work of art if it is a conscious art.
