Rykwert, Joseph
Doing your own thing- Can art be art in the eighties
Art Monthly; supplement on the Art and Architecture conference at the ICA in '82
More on the mod. arch'ts opposition to cont'y art; rhetoric presupposes that there is a way of speaking about public things which is both honourable and can be beautiful. This is something we no longer believe; Ruskin said that "only with the new barbarianism will the art of the future be forged"; graffito is the only barbarian art that society admits, its elements are not figures but letters.
