Caption on the bottom of the frame reads "Miekal, spokesman for TWA Dogs in Paris, has never had an art course in his life. 'I originally went for a degree in philosophy, ended up dropping out 4 times in a row and gave up on it.' Art exists as a whole, Miekal says, whether it be a play, dance, music, sculpture. 'You can't separate anything from the other. This (art by TWA Dogs) is lifestyle as an image. We have actual real life images. It's not important to call them sculptures or whatever. We tend to use the phrase post nuclear mutation about our art. This in relation to espionage. Espionage isn't such a grim world. It's taking people's values and extending them, moving them someplace else. Philosophically, I think this neighborhood is different from any other place. It's a world village. All cultures are represented here, all varieties, talents, strains of personalities. It makes it exciting. This neighborhood allows us to actually create an environment in our front yard.'" |
