Today, the contemporary artist continually refuses to believe Western society’s linear model of time is universal. Instead, the contemporary artist raises broader questions, challenging the cultural genocide that is experienced when societies (whose time is wholly different from a Western model) must assimilate and colonize their time and identities to meet this linear limiting time frame.

“At its most regressive, as in Monet, the ephemerality of the moment appears as loss, but it is actually a moment of becoming. As becoming it stands across the possibility of the future, setting its ahistorical finality athwart the trajectory of emergence. Rather than propose nihilism as the solution to the superflux of spectacle, and beyond Adorno’s negative dialectics, we need to commit ourselves to positivity, the increase in connectivity in interests of emergence, against the nihilism, which is no longer oppositional, but the very form of the dominant itself.
In contemporary culture, The margin acts as the site of cultural innovation.”
"“Love
Embracing Tao, you become embraced.
Supple, breathing gently, you become reborn.
Clearing your vision, you become clear.
Nurturing your beloved, you become impartial.
Opening your heart, you become accepted.
Accepting the World, you embrace Tao.
Bearing and nurturing,
Creating but not owning,
Giving without demanding,
Controlling without authority,
This is love.”
