you run away like a john hughes movie

not that i know, but let's say art is the name we give to the (created) things that move us and as such there is no boring art--only art that is not yours to feel.

so can we discuss instead what is good art for us? i know it is not that it gives off a certain meaning. but that i want to keep staring at it and i want to go back to it. not unlike a de-puzzling of design but more of a. sort of wonder that it exists at all? the feeling that it says something, even if i do not know what. the art i like rarely pushes me to an articulation of life--should it? (exception: magritte; i'm working backwards, here) i end up thinking in association. particles, waves. but here is what i think i think: by definition art is not boring.

and art's place in the world, jessica! where is the art that is not for artists. as a non-artist how does art change my life. the answer: it doesn't, because so little is art for me (them!). because art has little to offer me (anyone?). because i don't value that momentary feeling of wonder. (okay, but i do i do.)
