Art is Myth, Myth is Art : same divinatory creation, same fabulatory
praxis of humankind in search of itself. Art always invokes the supreme myth of
creation or a range of its great human stories personifying it, whether it may
be the celebration of founding myths of societies, of gods, man or nature, of
realism, abstraction, cubism, suprematism, constructivism, surrealism, of inner
necessity or digital magic, by the means of architecture, theatre, music,
literature, philosophy, dance, performance or painting. And when it comes to
question itself or the society which celebrates it, art becomes sociological or
mythanalytical.
This is
nothing new, as what I call myth/art seeks deeply into archeology of present as
much as of future time. I already mentioned it in 1979 on the occasion of a
performance at the Pompidou Centre, when l announced “the end of art History”.
