“It probably goes without saying that certainty is also the great enemy of art, and the deadly enemy of the artist.
I suspect the artists that will speak to our moment (and survive it ) best will be ones with the lowest levels of certainty, who haven’t allowed the lure of social media to turn them into certainty pimps, who recall Milan Kundera’s observation that the novelist/artist teaches us to comprehend the world as a question, not an answer. As Kundera notes, “There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude.â€� The artists who I’m most interested in these days are the ones who struggle always to be “heard over the noisy foolishness of human certainties.”
