Quote by Samuel Beckett

To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now.

To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task

Summary

This quote suggests that the role of the artist today is to create a structure or framework that can contain and embrace the chaos and complexity of existence. Instead of attempting to impose order or clarity on the messiness of life, the artist should aim to find a form that can hold it all together. This may involve embracing ambiguity, uncertainty, and contradiction in their work, reflecting the messy reality of the world we live in. Ultimately, it implies that the artist's mission is to find a way to transform chaos into meaningful and cohesive artistic expression.

Improvisation is almost like the retarded cousin in the comedy world. We've been trying forever to get improvisation on TV. It's just like stand-up. It's best when it's just left alone. It doesn't translate always on TV. It's best live.
