“Malevich shows us what it means to be a revolutionary artist: It means to join the universal material flow that destroys all the temporary political and aesthetic orders. Here the goal is not change – understood as a change from the existing, “bad” order to a new, “good” order. Rather, radical and revolutionary art abandons all goals, and enters the nonteleological, potentially infinite process that the artist cannot and does not want to bring to an end.”

–Boris Groys, “In The Flow”, p. 74 (Verso, 2016). Thus, thinking with Groys, the artist’s intent is to join Kant’s metaphysical space of ‘Things’. (viajuhavantzelfde)
