None better than Mockus to describe himself: “My idea of the artist is someone who, in a prison cell, takes a piece of chalk and draws a border to define his space, a person who has more restrictions than those normally apparent. But upon defining those restrictions himself, he liberates himself.” https://latoneriaypintura.co/2017/12/28/mockus-the-artist-mockus-the-idiot/
Well said. It bothers me too when politicians are called performance artists. It’s performative but there’s no art involved. Maybe they should be called what Mel Brooks once called politicians; Bullshit Artists.
