Everything that has ever been called folk art has always reflected domination. – Theodor Adorno
If time is money, it seems moral to save time, above all ones own, and such parsimony is excused by consideration for others. One is straight-forward. – Theodor Adorno
Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane. – Theodor Adorno
He who stands aloof runs the risk of believing himself better than others and misusing his critique of society as an ideology for his private interest. – Theodor Adorno
The giant white cube is now impeding rather than enhancing the rhythms of art. It preprograms a viewers journey, shifts the emphasis from process to product, and lacks individuality and openness. Its not that art should be seen only in rutty bombed-out environments, but it should seem alive. – Jerry Saltz
