Müürileht 15, summer 2011
Piret Karro
The article is based on an interview with the director of Theater NO99, Ene-Liis Semper, and on personal reflections on conceptual art. It begins where the last article in Müürileht had ended - on usefulness in Art. Being tired of art that carries no practical use, art that embodies only abstractions and mindless mind games, I ask - why can't the artist be as useful as a road worker, whose work has material and realistic outcomes? Semper replies that art is useful in any case, even if it is purely abstract, because abstractions carry ideas and ideas change people.
