I think Umberto Eco said something in the vain of art being an interpretation generating machine. This goes well with my belief in the death auf the author (and artist in general). Everyones interpretation can be as correct as the next ones. Pretty much: art is subjective.

This would mean: Yes, every single piece of art is political - for you. But saying this as an absolut truth is as incorrect as saying that not a single piece of art is political.

And if we account for the intentions of the creator, those intentions can be as manyfold and as void of politics as they come.
