ah, part is being used to make cost satisfaction over the brochure. our society for the rich and the powerful. we come from a time a generation. when what mattered in alt was to be radical today, what the hell does radical me? ah. ah, ah, my name is i why, why? i'm mom artist. on them activist. i'm reminder. i'm don't commentary maker. but 1st i'm

a human being. ah ah, i'm a niece, co poor, i'm an artist and i live and work in the u. k. we couldn't be more different way and i in our approach to what we do. i'm much more interested in the esoteric, the po, attic, or whatever else, all difficult stuff. chinese authors, i way way to attain it. may jing out would on sunday is be no official comment from china's government's asking my releases become our like international moment. probably the biggest or i'm or to try and her rescue or artist

people in culture need to have a political voice. my art isn't overtly political in any obvious way. i hope it is in all sorts of underhand ways. at 2015, i sound the journey into making documentary, so by refugees, you're serious. yeah, i'm sitting on the most we, we and i decided together to make a walk across london. and we walked in sympathy as if we were in refugee status ourselves. i narrow sanker artists as a some specialist by the railroad, the ha, clear rationale, piano emotions. so this many shows can be discussed. we identify in this question of how and culture can bring change that gives us that kind of brotherhood

ah an ish yes. my dear friend. and we're happy to seal and do you always have this ability to use the your media language too long to have this a shocking quality to, to provide the kind and condition which is quite a, is for audience. tell me what is behind is work. i feel that i truly, truly have nothing to say, but nothing to say as an artist, meaning i don't have some message to give the world. but i deeply believe that my

intelligence, if it's anyway, it's not here, it's here. and it guides me through my daily practice. i go into the studio every day and continue a process in the last years i've been drawn to om prime or sacrifice meaning death in its origin. it has to do with some richer list stick, original practice that i feel i've been working with for the last 40 years since i became an artist. and of course certain things are consistent. but color read the idea that the 2 dimensional world and the 3 dimensional world are mixed with each other. so all these things come into play and that is our voyage of discovery,

isn't it? what i know? who cares what i know? i say for to knowledge we live, i suspect in a post knowledge era. anything i want, i can get on here 3 seconds. so what do i need to know? my job as an artist is to d, educate myself, and find a way to something that i haven't the faintest idea what it is. and i think that's a game we play with ourselves. i know you play the same game. my case a little different is i, you mentioned a studio you're working in the studio, but i actually, i don't have a studio room. my studio is in airport hotel room and a feel studio like this. and also i don't have this kind of consistency as you will have, you know, your work at a certain materials colors and the language which are clearly identify

for your are for the my identity. tiered apart. you know, i grew up in china and spend time united states went back to china in a decades and did a so many different professions. finally, i still can be called us artist. sometimes they call me activists. but it doesn't matter. you know, it's a seal said the we have it of dealing with daily matter. and for me, a moment this is a past and is the future in or the present. the situation is every assembly have with your permission, re way. i'll talk about how we 1st came to know each other and i, so i was in korea and i saw that you had made a kind of comic in a way dance performance to gangnam style. and as an act

of protest are being under continued house arrest in beijing. and i saw this and i felt deeply moved by ah, the idea that a comrade we had never met, we had never met, but that a comrade could be incarcerated in this way. so i came back to london and i decided to do a gun. lemme style, dance performance. all sorts of people in london came to my studio, the greater a young choreographer, a crum khan choreographed us, and we did a gunman style for i way, way. i think as to really brave, very married, touching well, because we are not doing just for charles or butter rather to catch than to spirit

tall moment. art cannot be easily erased by, by law superpower. exactly. so it points to various things. one is that visual culture or let's say poetic culture, not just visual, re whether it's theater, whatever else matters, that it matters to government. weirdly, governments are afraid of what if you like poets think and how they put it in the world. the poetic act has such power to drive hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people to certain kind of conclusions about the state of being that we occupy. i feel this is the most important thing of all i'm and as a and what it brings to the for, for us to discuss perhaps, is this question of whether art itself is political or can be

political. and what is its role in the politics of or time? let's discuss that anyway. i think this is a very good topic. yes, very often we use the word political. yeah. that only implied to a certain sense and the people were the mist and dissenting or this misleading, you know, saw him. my understanding the intellect of any human being if being expressed is, has political in there. but it doesn't matter as a abstract or a, just a sound or a just music or, or even salad can be very political. soul may want to see any form or choose him by our rational mind to decide a life behaving or expression is political to me. so i had the eyes that

why i cannot, i easily accept sums. it is now political because really means society, any choice of being not political is as political choice. so in that sense, i had sent her language itself is never known. true, it's always or has its own content easier unless you don't describe it. but if it's come from a human intellects, it has the message. i suppose, i feel since i said i have nothing to say. then, then that's very political mass. i understand. i understand cuz the you have the freedom of speech, i understand and there you are, lee, me, a democratic world garage is really an you're important to figure out, you know, you're represent so much help for young. what young artists and also serve people

who love to you. so they, me, me sand stand the lion and that. but i understand that your statement is a like a very weight he philosopher in the, in the orient where, you know, it's naughty as well. i don't know, but, but let me, let me just try and develop this a little bit to think about it in this way. that art can have direct language to say are making a comment about this or that, or the other subject. the other way, of course, is that the political plays a role in what is not said or what is half said. so ought, has poetic and philosophical questions, but doesn't directly address political questions. it doesn't mean it's less political. it just means that it goes about it if you like, they try to catch, you know, you go to like this rather than like miss that 2 different ways of doing it,

of goals. that's very indian, by the way. you and he were heck, but those are very much depends on the nose is still there quite right. very good. ha. so i think this is a kind of key factor about how we reach what in it could be dangerous, and yet it terrified me. dangerous is leah in a bowl ball suite can be very dangerous, yet has anchor. why? you see the art has political, a can be mary misleading and dangerous, and the you see most so called a political arg doesn't work because a new message has to be carry allowed by law, right? language and czar language. if it were kind is artistic or to. so that's why i say the noses to be reached this way, but has but her mother is of larry fascinating. you reach on north our way. yeah. you need the lord. god, god. so why can we call ourselves artists? it took me a few years to be able to say,

i'm an artist because what i do is where a kind of cloak of responsibility. nobody gave me that responsibility, but it's one i think. and i think it's that serious, so we can do this incredible thing, but it is a burden we carry and we're burden of like immediate, you know, an artist is the arc and typical fool is old. but the identity about our self identity or how the words sink about our self or a sink upon others. you know, because when see me, when you think about ourselves, we think about our relations to people who are different or to we really belong to the mass. if either your artist or you know, privileged or a your be more responsible in terms of for free. it's version, you know what, you're really extended the concept of what it is free them

under free expression. i think of those issues. no art has a co avoided. of course, you can fixed your one point on the one direction, but we're leaving you so much on problematic. earn time is over away look up where it may be. that is something we should discuss a little bit. the art world or art world is completely captured by the capitalist machine. we are not makers of luxury goods, but the art market. the art world treats us as if we are makers of luxury goods in a picasso said something wonderful, which i think about a lot painting is not decoration for your living room painting is war. yeah. no, i think that are his sather. yeah. and i think that is key. so we come from a time

a generation when what mattered in art was to be radical. today. what the hell does radical meet? it's really difficult. um we live in a post information post modernist, post elbows everything age. um, when the idea of the new, the radical that which is outside of the market system is impossible for us to even imagine it is a terrifying state. i say i'm how can the thing that's radical be for sale. one of the problems that we suffer in the art world for that turn a prize, you know, this price that's given in the u. k. now, there are 5 groups of collective artists. what that proposes is that art is a social medium which can bring social change and renewal

that perhaps is one way out of this capitalist takeover. well, that's our big topic. yes, it's not only relate to article relayed tool everything, today's corporate culture and those whole political situation. you can, i'm features and they all being pushed by the class to capitalism or state capital iraq, the new capital direct. they all know the world has new structures. you know, and they're so powerful, they basically designed the are life law or behaving or knowledge i to cation and of course, in general art art as being used us decorative idea to make up satisfaction over the brochure, our society and is always being serve us for the rich

and powerful soul i think, is our depends on individual art has it's not about wanting to sell lowball. does the message correct about the, you know, you're always kind of crazy. oh message. i think it's time for question in answers . there's a lot to say way, way about what's just been raised, but let's, let's hear this wonderful young person. hi everyone. my name is paul from south africa. where we question really has to do with the sort of implications and anxiety. is there sort of challenges of artists, especially in conflict in situations or under mac arctic context such as china? how do you balance that? you know, why didn't you do that way, but also being afraid as a person. i thank you. i think the best balance is loose and

balance. if you believe what else you're thinking, what is a medium for about a life, then you protect the value. and of course, it is very often is to loosen balance because their reality, the rationality was stop you because you did this was a fact commanded since yourself, your relatives and your friend and your, your relation to the society. so i think if you think too much, then you cannot really act. i think lee, as especially why you're young, you should act in some kind of ridiculous away rather than to, to try and or perform some kind of elegance. i think it's a beautiful question, really important if i may, i'm from india and i see that what's happening in india now is horrific. as you say, in many, many parts of the world, of course,

freedom of expression is not tolerated. our greatest fear has to be self censorship. it is the not i say there's both in where, where it is free and where it is not free. self censorship says close down that part of your self. that might risk taking part in something that somebody else will find controversial. ensure pond are the very important says you have to believe you're better than them. yeah. you may not. when you know, you may become a problem, but the ideology still would come to we have to believe in certain sense us human being. so that was when my name is isabella, you where it's picking capitalism and radicalism. and i would like to

ask you, who would you say profits or benefits from your works? well, you see the all world, if i could stop, there is not a straightforward place. the world is the most unregulated monetary exchange for him. there is best place to launder money. you could imagine frankly. but i think what we have to remember alongside that is that while artists make objects, the real purpose of objects is mythological, isn't physical. and what the market doesn't fully get is this meant that you can't buy mythological propositions, but money is itself mythological. imagine just for a 2nd. a picasso on the wall,

come back to picasso, with 5xw1c5xw or whatever number you want. part of it's mythology when i look at it is, oh my god, it's 150000000. 0 my god, it felt only a great painting, but it's also the logical kind of value in monetary, cultural terms. so art is always playing this double game, and i think who has benefits, therefore, is monetary on one level, but one hopes that its mythological repercussions go out there in all sorts of different ways. and i'm going to say, i'm wrong, china, i have some question to question to ask you that way. actually the 1st is using so called a but amec will back to assess audi or so the politics in china, you know, serious way. and the 2nd question to you,

so how do you think so your own generational facilities will respond to corey in a moment, in china, in the years to call how it would affect china? i think a would build the government much stronger and they have this house card or hello everybody have to have it. so that tells the garmin the where you are, who your associate base and where you bond to your, your grocery and you know, which, which car you, are we transported to your go from one place one to point b. so those made the, the garment stronger. some kind of excuse and not while be copied by the, the world, every nation almost. so the coin could totally changed or understanding about the individual rise on the government rides and how should they behave?

and this is a very philosophical figure. question actually need, we will discuss it in a long time. second above the, our 2 young guard who's seen china. i think the problem is not of the art his art has ever were as a new individual trying to express themselves. but the problem is the ceiling is so low, you cannot stand up, it just make q you want, you really want to act. you have the curl or to, you know, everybody understand this so that a crate, very strangely image of or chinese artist. because nobody can jump, nobody can fly, it says can have to grow. and so is the, there's a lot of berlin, hardest best grades scale. and you know, and very daddy could devoted himself to art, loves art. but you're in the wrong wrong location or you're in the right location,

then you have to defend your right. bizarre may sacrifice your life. so i cannot even give advice like this. mean way that brings a very interesting, very important question about being an exile, being exile as isn't in this many writers or many people has been in, i vow is not started from one generation. i think i excel history is the long us the, the human flow is, you know, 11 web heather, refugees, it could be exiles from any place you know, and any place which is not safe. but then the question is, once you're exiled, you're pulled out for me or wrong on the why do you care under your language, your sensitivity, all last your become are transparent number and life has no

meaning anymore. so that is, that is true challenge for an individual. the me as an artist by nature, the person who on last thing may choose to be lost. we have taken all the dog parts of our environment and turned it into a nice little place in which everything is good. but actually it's the death. oh ah.
