Q: Do you think Berlin is a potential capital of the arts as Paris once was?
A: No, Berlin has too many economic problems. It has become an island, just as it was in the Cold War. The German art scene is developing very fast. Today, issues such as German nationality, its sad history and identity, the ugliness of Germany—these are no longer relevant. Being German is no longer a defining factor. Subsidised art is a bad thing in Germany. Independence is crucial.

About Me
- khaihori
- I use art. I profit from the lessons it teaches. I delight in the thrills it presents. I languish the extramundane pain it inflicts. I breach the religion it preaches. I exploit its potential to indoctrinate.
