S political activist and an artist, Paul Chan might be the exemplary figure for the great blur - if he didn't spend all his time resisting it. As he puts it in an interview with George Baker, 'the desire to bridge what we call art and politics is in fact a fear of both.'” Carrie Lambert-Beatty, Parkett no. 88, 2011.
