“Modern art endeavors to expel the mystification of the absolute art derived from past traditions. Usually modern art is considered abstruse, but this occurs only when accepting ‘fine arts that I know’ and not recognizing new attempts as fine art. All the common senses and stereotypes have made men fools, and must be destroyed occasionally, and changed.” - Nam June Paik |
