"Everybody is an artist"

'Creativity isn't the monopoly of artists. This is the crucial fact I've come to realise, and this broader concept of creativity is my concept of art. When I say everybody is an artist, I mean everybody can determine the content of life in his particular sphere, whether in painting, music, engineering, caring for the sick, the economy or whatever. All around us the fundamentals of life are crying out to be shaped or created. But our idea of culture is severely restricted because we've always applied it to art...Our concept of art must be universal and have the interdisciplinary nature of a university, and there must be a university department with a new concept of art and science'.

Joseph Beuys
