MIND-REJUVENATING ART
Answering the question:
“Does every work of art have to carry a message?”
Tatiana Gerasimenok: I prefer art that rewires the neural connections of the brain — that benefits me by getting it pumping. Uncompromising, powerful, and independent. Challenging and uncomfortable. Such art is created by geniuses — original and controversial freethinkers who, like gems, are very rare.
Art with a message is a waste of my time. I’m not a psychologist whom an “artist” pays to be treated like a toilet for unloading emotional baggage born of chaotic thinking and an immature mind.
Let’s leave these banal and mass media-imposed “messages” — the kind that give birth to boring crap copied from one another — for kitchen talks with friends, and devote the audience’s lifetime to bringing them real value.
