The quoted reminds me of (a piece of) Bill Kennedy's little write-up, The Decadent Book- http://www.thescream.ca/content/the_decadent_book_bill_kennedy
"Creativity has no need for Art (and vice-versa). Only Artists have a need for Art. Art is merely its own discussion."
"This thing is like that thing" not just as an Awl tag but an entire weltanschauung.
This guy is a dipshit. And as an artist I find this opinion deeply offensive. When you sweat and slave to create something, then you can talk about how it belongs to the world, or whatever other piffle it is that thinks.
Baldie actually said "a call to arms". oh dear god.
