Author of quotes: Achille Bonito Oliva

Contemporary art is democratic because it uses everyday material, deals with reality, and therefore recognizable. I think that the state can be called democratic only when it allows advanced art to exist without censorship. Art is always also a political contact. But it should not be associated with politics or with government. It should be completely independent.

Today is redefining social problems of a number of topics related to history, nature, ecology, violence, racism, world hunger, environmental pollution. Artists suited to all this diversity the multimedia - media painting, installation, photography and video.

The idea of the art process should belong to criticism.
