THE LITTLE DETAILS
PROVIDING EMOTIONAL, AESTHETIC CONNECTION
IN QUESTION:
IS THERE ANY MEANING IN GENERAL TO MODERN INSTALLATION AND PERFORMANCE ART?
WHAT ARE THE CONCEPTS? THE IDEAS?
THE CONNECTIONS?
THE PURPOSE?
IS ART SUPPOSED TO NECESSARILY HAVE A PURPOSE IN LIFE?
OR IS IT JUST ABOUT THE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE NORM? SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO LOOK AT?
IS THERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ANY PERSONAL OUTPUT? SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT? THOUGHT PROVOKING?
AM I GENERALIZING?
IS THAT BAD?
AM I MISSING SOMETHING?
AM I A REAL ARTIST?
OR AM I JUST A COPIER?
BY THAT I MEAN, AM I UNORIGINAL? AM I BORING? IS MY ART NECESSARY? CHALLENGING? DOES IT HAVE ANY PERSONAL, EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO VIEWERS?
HOW DO I , WILL I, FIT INTO THE ART WORLD?
IS IT NECESSARY TO BE OFFENSIVE? SHOCKING?
OR IS IT ABOUT DRAWING SOMEONE IN?
OR IS IT ABOUT THE ARTIST'S PERSONALITY, EXPERIENCES, INTERESTS?
DOES THAT MATTER?
WHAT IS THE NATURE OF CONTEMPORARY ART?
HAS IT TAKEN ON SOCIETY'S CONCEPT OF "DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT"?
OR IS THERE ANY REASON? IS THERE A PLACE FOR IT IN THE WORLD? IS THERE A NECESSITY FOR ART ANYMORE? IS IT STILL NEEDED? DO PEOPLE STILL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO QUESTION, WONDER, ANALYZE, GAZE, DEVELOP, ADMIRE? OR HAVE PEOPLE BECOME THE DRONES OF TECHNOLOGY, OF CONVENIENCE? CAN ONE SOMEONE STAND STILL, ANALYZE AND ADMIRE, PATIENTLY AND INTELLIGENTLY FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES?
DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT ART ANYMORE?
IF PEOPLE DON'T, HOW AM I , AS AN ASPIRING ARTIST, SUPPOSED TO FIT INTO THE WORLD? DOES THAT MATTER?
IF PEOPLE DO, HOW DO I RESPOND AS AN ASPIRING ARTIST? DOES THAT MATTER? IS ART ONLY AROUND FOR TRADITION'S SAKE?
DOES ART MATTER?
DO I MATTER?
These are just questions. I'm not even able to come up with reasonable answers.
