Dinner #1 Forum: Go Public in Private!
By susan - Posted on May 8th, 2007
Included here are thoughts about the flow and content from the guests at the April 13th Individuals in Collaboration dinner conversation you have been part of during the Meet Me at the Table series.
These reflections were captured in the beautifully hand-crafted book by Elena Belle White that will be available for guest comments throughout the series.
Feel free to contribute your own thoughts about these thoughts...it's an unwieldy exchange!
I like the challenge of making work that involves and commits others to our citizenship.
I think citizenship implies generosity in that it embraces the wellbeing of others.
What does "good" public art reward, other than curiosity?
In response: But of course curiosity is important! Especially as our educational structures and forms of entertainment, movement and interaction become increasingly prescribed.
It is amazing how sometimes I forget that people aren't having these conversations more often. Just last night I had a conversation with a professor from MassArt who was saying how few of her grad students were thinking past the "how can I make a lot of money as an artist?" mindset! That blew my mind!
