"I do think that I am pretty extreme in my views okay this is the most postmodern that I get yeah totally 100 percent like uh art is just different you know like I feel like and god bless it for being different because it's hard," he says. "Any artist who gives an explanation for their art is not only doing a disservice but I think that they tend to beat the dumber one."
What’s the meaning of a work of art? Does the text mean just what the author intends it to mean? Does it matter what Kubrick and Arthur C. Clark thinks about the end of 2001? Or is the artist’s interpretation just one interpretation among many once the text is out in the world? We explore the question of authorial intent, and brace yourselves - this is just about as postmodern as David gets.
Plus – do we have what it takes to get an invite to the thought criminals club?
