All Art Is Political??

Kasimir Malevich

According to Kit White, "all art is political...the world your work describes is the world that you, as a maker, promote."  I disagree with the first part of this statement that "all art is political."  By definition, political means pertaining to or involving the state or its government.  Many things in life are outside of the government.  To say that the art an artist creates will "always have political implications" is casting the net to broad and is being a little paranoid that the government is in everything.  I would agree that my artwork describes my point of view, but my point of view is not fenced in by the politics of the time nor defined by it.  Freedom of the mind, is the greatest gift any artist could have, for we are more than those governing us.  Enjoy!
