Theorists postulate many things about art.
Art is said to be dead a thousand times since the beginning of 20th century.
Obviously, now it is time to repeat something which belongs certainly to the most stupid statements. And a permanent repetition does not make it better.
But, it obviously has to do how people define art.
As you know there is no binding definition what are is. In principle, there are as many definitions as people live on our globe, billions and billions.
According to my understanding, art is more vivid than ever, however the conditions change permanently.
Art represents one of the essential human expressions, at all.
And I see people living everywhere, so art does.
Art is not dead, only because some intellectuals define something from a point of view far from any reality.
I cannot join such an intellectual play about a problem which does not exist, at all.
But supposed art would be dead, it could be replaced only through art.
The king is dead, long live the king.
Art is dead, long live art.
