    As the activity of the mystic must end in the via negative, a theology of God’s absence, a craving for the cloud of unknowingness beyond knowledge and for the silence beyond speech, so art must tend towards anti-art, the elimination of the “subject”  (the “object”, the “image”), the substitution of chance for intention,

    and the pursuit of silence.

    […] Therefore, art becomes estimated as something to be overthrown. A new element enters the art-work and becomes  constitute of it:

    the appeal (tacit or overt) for its own abolition

    – and, ultimately, for the abolition of art itself. 

     

    Susan Sontag,  from ‘The Aesthetics of Silence’, 1966.
