    "Il n’y a pas de tyrannie qui ne tente pas de limiter l’art, car elles voient le pouvoir de l’art. L’art peut dire au monde ce qui ne peut être partagé autrement. C’est l’art qui transmet des émotions et des sentiments." 

    - Volodymyr Zelensky, Président de l'Ukraine

    Performance , 00:50:00

    'It's night.It feels good.

    Last night I did The Rea(dy)-make of the
    Money Performance.
    I had my nerves under control
    and my energy was focused.
    The concept was just right.
    The public didn't get what it came
    for and what it had read in the papers:
    scandal and success.
    I gave them confusion and a new performance.'

    (Jan Fabre, Antwerp, 11 January 1980)

    'The press, what an unworldly medium.
    How odd!
    Two newspapers wrote exactly the same
    about my performance:
    'The originality of the ideas remains,
    so we can expect a third Money Performance
    from Jan Fabre.'
    The answer to that is simple: FORGET IT!
    What do they think, those journalists,
    that an artist is a DJ (we request, you spin).'

    (Jan Fabre, Antwerp, 16 January 1980)
