Because art as a pursuit, as a concept, as an ideal, constantly elevates one above the pragmatic, one is inclined to discuss art in heightened terminologies. For me, it is just what I do all day long.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Art to me is not precious enough that I feel territorial about what the word gets applied to. Conversations about what counts as art and what doesn't doesn't captivate my attention very much.
I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind-altering possibility.
Art is a subject that is inundated with opinions. In fact, that's all it is about is opinions.
Whether art is defined as a representation of or response to reality, it demands an intense engagement with things we haven't managed to understand fully.
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
For me, art is such a wide concept - anything can be art.
Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive - in the past, that was mixed up with other illustrative duties, but that was still its central function that has been liberated in the art called modern.
Art is an expression of who we are, what we believe, and what we dream about.
Art is the close scrutiny of reality and therefore I put on the stage only those things that I know happen in our society.
What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.
