Quotation: ‘The artist does not turn time into money’

November 2008

 

 

“The artist does not turn time into money, the artist turns time into energy, time into intensity, time into vision. The exchange that art offers is an exchange in kind; energy for energy, intensity for intensity, vision for vision… Can we afford to live imaginatively, contemplatively?”


Winterson, Jeanette. Art Objects. London: Vintage, 1996, p 139.
