Artists are flakey. They can be scoundrels.
But often they just see things clearly.
Marina Abramovic's clear-eyed views on death & funerals rang a bell with me.
Marina says “an artist should die consciously without fear” and that “the funeral is the artist’s last piece before leaving”. And I say we should all die consciously, without fear.
