Quote by Brian Ferneyhough

There would seem to be a limit, even for an art preoccupied with boundaries and transgressions, beyond which a work reaches its breaking point and becomes an actual failure, a mere experimentation.

There would seem to be a limit, even for an art preoccupied

Summary

This quote suggests that even within art forms that thrive on breaking boundaries and norms, there is a point where a work can go too far and lose its effectiveness. It argues that there is a limit to experimentation, beyond which a piece becomes a failure rather than a successful artistic expression. In essence, it implies that artists should be mindful of pushing boundaries just for the sake of experimentation and should strive for a balanced approach to maintain the artistic integrity and impact of their work.
