What Is Art
Art is something usually degraded into a sickening effort to spruce up the aesthetic of the living space with something that reflects corporate consumer values like a pretty picture of a sunset your mom would love on the living room wall. Art is usually dreck, and it is rare. Art allows us to grasp, represent, and explore an outer, spatial world, making it possible to grasp, represent, and explore an inner, temporal universe of ideas that puts you in the middle of the artist’s creative vision. As in language, a medium that possesses not only representational but also logical powers, allowing us not only to represent the objects of our desire as well as the desire itself.
