Abstract Not for consumption. Nor for profit. Not for scientific, political or other purposes either. Not even for mere pleasure. The only purpose of art should be art itself. L’art pour l’art, art for art’s sake, as the French Romantics would say. Ohne Interesse, disinterested, as Immanuel Kant had thought them. This is the condition of the “without” (without purpose, without use, without profit, without rules) that is characteristic of modern and contemporary art. It is this condition that is reflected in the whiteness and emptiness of the museum room, of the gallery wall, the studio, the residency.
