"The greatest weakness in contemporary culture lies in its inability to distinguish good from bad - only the extraordinary is understood. As long as something is sensational, nobody cares. In the same way few can distinguish fame from notoriety or either from advertising. The extraordinary is often done badly and the bad done extraordinarily well, but one would hesitate to call either achievement, let alone art. We live in an age of celebrated nonentities. These people are not artists, any more than the man 'working the room' is your friend. These people are just phonies." JAMES ELLIOTT |
