Kant to Adorno

We must move from Kant to Adorno, where we find the subject/spectator standing not outside the work, but deeply embedded within it, and therefore as incapable of a detached emotional response to the work as artists are of producing it in a detached way. (Beuys)
The unsolved antagonisms of reality return in artworks as immanent problems of form. (Adorno)
Work on understanding the issues affecting the making of artworks and you will reinvent society. (Beuys)
