Re: Re: Regarding The

I just received an email regarding Charlotte's article, my comments and Curt's additional support links.

Please post your comments here as this is what these boards are for and it's more fun when we get to share. :)

To put my comments above more succinctly, ideas are ultimately only capable of being broken down into smaller groups of words. The clearest way to elucidate various word-groups (ideas) is to use more words to attempt a further clarification.

That is why I am not creating an animated gif here to explain this concept. A visual/sculptural/audio etc. "something" happening here would be ridiculous in place of this simple explanation of my "concept".

When it comes to those things we can never clearly communicate (justice, love, the religious impulse etc) we turn to the arts as a higher form of communication than the mundanities of the 1=1 reasoning of facts that and the left brained prejudices that the advent of language (particularly phonetic alphabets and typography) created in our species.

The root of "Philosophy"is "Philos", LOVE!

The Philosophy of an Art that is purely "conceptual" is an intellectual mistake. It says more about onanistic ritual-in which the "realized" object becomes a fetish-than it does about the potency of the artist in his/her ability to move the viewer.
