To the Artists

You have one mission, and one mission alone.

To create.



If you put your heart and soul into your art, if you put everything you have into your art - not everything the market tells you will sell, not everything the academics tell you is tasteful, not everything your social milieu tells you is acceptable, but everything you have been and are on the way to being, everything that speaks truth, everything which honors the least of us and does justice to all of us... That. Is. Enough.

Because it can seem that noone appreciates or understands what you are saying. That no work of art can survive the blast-zone of reification, ranging from the sniping of insider clubs who reject anything they cannot monopolize for themselves, all the way to the saturation bombing of neoliberal media corporations who want to turn the planet into a copyright jail. 

Don't listen to their lies. This is what is true:
 Someone you don't know will run across your work of art.

Someone you don't know will hear it.

Someone you don't know will see it.

Someone you don't know will play it.
 Someone you don't know will read it.

And somehow, somewhere, at the deepest core of the smallest of all things, you will make the impossible... possible.
