I have seen posted and shared a short line which states that now is the time for artists to get active. As they witness the push-back from liberal acceptance of people to hard line practises. Actually it is too late.
When I started looking into the history of art is asked, after years of being liberal, accepting, fighting for open society I have seen in the past 20 years the slow creep of fascism gaining ground in Europe and I asked “is this happening because artists are not doing their job?’ The day artists allowed the large institutions to dictate what art is, the day they copied New York and did not do their own thing, the day they wanted money more than time; those were the days they allowed nationalism to gain ground.
The only job they have now is to count the dead.
