"First of all, we're talking about ART here. This is our main subject."

Well, I've been thinking about this statement. Yes, it's true that ART is the anchor. However. It might be more accurate to say that we are talking about LIFE, LIVED EXPERIENCE, MEANING. We are concerned with these things foremost. We are not concerned with discussing "art" for the sake of art. We are concerned with discussing art for the sake of people; for our own sakes, and for the "sakes" of others. Art is our medium.
