castoriadis vs. vázquez (like a philosophical ballet)


"the subject is that which opens."
-Castoriadis

Castoriadis states that...

"Our time is not time.
Our time is not the time.
Our time is no time."

His use of the clause and the meanings and uses of the word time create a wide variety of interpretations. time is the fuel for political activity in that it takes place in time. any interpretation of these statements made by castoriadis is valid. as an economist and philosopher he addressed the political decomposition of our society.

to which i respond in a parallel argument...

"Our art is not art.
Our art is not the art.
Our art is no art."

All these statements are a tautology that illustrates my attitude towards artistic practices today. the lack of signification of the word art make any interpretation valid. this illustrates the futility of art as an effective method of activism. it is my belief that in order for them to survive and regain their social status the artist needs to invade politics. we need to jump-start those structures with rich arguments about perception and the search for understanding of cosmic law.
