"Sometimes a lively street market, sometimes a no-man's-land. This is
the zone of disturbances FlashPoint illuminates. You, fellow reader, are not a
mere observer. You are one of us in the struggle --always political, always a
struggle of art in action --to make language speak the world as we live it, as it
lives us --to make things beautifully mean and defiantly non-mean but be
something else entirely. FlashPoint illuminates you with us.
"In FlashPoint the art is pour l'art, the politics without manifesto. Art
and politics clash, pass in the night, interpenetrate, leave no peace. Beauty
is not only difficult, it's downright problematic. Like graffiti on brownstone:
blight and beauty, beauty and blight ... but dancing!"
