What is the purpose of art?
I came across this quote in my studio yesterday from art critic Suzi Gablik:
” In the past we have made much of the idea of art as a mirror ( reflecting the times); we have had art as furniture ( something nice to hang on the walls); and we have had art as an inner search for ther self.
There is another kind of art, however, that speaks to the power of connectedness abnd established bonds, art that calls us into relationship. Perhaps, as Hillman says, the new aesthetics will not be found in museums or beautiful objects, but in some visible manifestation of ” the soul’s desperate concerns.”
Here’s a link to my latest video made from mashing footage taken in Cuba.
