“The art that we should be doing today, in the twenty-first century, is art that is not for the museum. It’s art for the street and people’s lives.”— Tania Bruguera
- Bruguera emphasizes the importance of art engaging directly with society, moving beyond institutional confines to effect real-world change.
“I still believe in a dream. And as an artist I feel that everything I’ve been trying to do is trying to kind of force or redirect reality towards the dream, but with the knowledge that propaganda is different than reality.” — Tania Bruguera
- This reflects Bruguera's commitment to using art as a tool to bridge the gap between idealism and reality, acknowledging the complexities involved in such endeavors.
“My work doesn't exist without the audience.”— Marina Abramović
- Abramović highlights the integral role of the audience in performance art, suggesting that the interaction between artist and viewer is essential to the artwork's existence.
“Performance is all about your state of mind. The public is like a dog; they can feel fear, they can feel insecurity, and they can feel if you are not there.”— Marina Abramović
- This underscores the authenticity required in performance art, where the artist's mental presence directly influences the audience's experience.
