judit, Fuck Art, Let's Dance was a punk thing from the late 70s/early 80s that targeted the conventional (and increasingly commercialized) Art (with a capital A) world, and not the kind that saves lives, which of course, I'm a big fan of too.
Mike, Fuck Art, Let's Dance was not just punk back then, it was ubiquitous and fun to play with.
I first saw a sign saying 'Art Saves Lives' in a tiny, below ground rubber stamp shop (stamps for art and office use) in Amsterdam in the '70s. The phrase became my words to live by.
Gotcha. I ran into it in Greenwich Village in the late 70s and didn't know how widespread it was. And of course I'm not anti-art, but I do like provocative things.
Provocateurs ... I think that's part of what we're on earth for; it's our life and job.
When I was a medical receptionist I felt it was my responsibility to not only do the usual things in my job description but also to provoke and spark people to thought. It was my peace work. Keep it going!
