Por General Idea
Ésta es la historia de General Idea y de lo que queríamos. Queríamos ser famosos, glamorosos y ricos. Es decir, queríamos ser artistas, y sabíamos que si éramos famosos y glamorosos, podíamos decir que éramos artistas y lo seríamos.
We never felt we had to produce great art to be great artists. We knew that great art did not bring glamour and fame. We knew we had to keep one foot in the door of art and we were aware of the importance of berets and paintbrushes. We made public appearances dressed in painter's smocks. We knew that if we were famous and glamorous, we could say we were artists and we would be. We did it and we are. We are famous and glamorous artists.
This is the story of glamour and the role it played in our art.
