Simple gestures renew the spirit and remove much angst. I look forward to hearing the more robust bits - we need to challenge and think about the industry we participate in and how we want to participate (or boycott as the case may be). I think my small art world is probably sheltered from much of your BIG art world stuff so I will be interested to hear your side of it.

I'm with you all the way when you suggest art practice and art industry really need to be housed in separate buildings! (and funny you should talk about art industry - as I'm presently fiddling with a post or three on that right now! I think I'll have to quote you from this comment!)<br /><br />right now I must weed the garden (weeding also happens to be my best thinking time...)ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260679591630131813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786182111675568241.post-56521289460864872682011-12-03T12:30:46.655+11:002011-12-03T12:30:46.655+11:00Spontaneous applause!!!Hoorah!!

Very well said Ronnie, I do love it when you speak about the 'hard' topics, and so am looking forward to some robust discussion on the questions you listed.<br />It's great to read of the transformation you experienced during your month of daily arty activities, well done. And yes art is not out there or anywhere designated specifically, it is in our lives everyday. I was just thinking this week after finding myself pondering the 'strategy' of art career, that I much prefer my art to be about life than my life to be only about art. <br />I seperate art practice and art industry, and then don't think too deeply about the later, tends to fry my brain if when I do...and doesn't help the art practice.<br />So anyway, great to hear of your new found lightness, I hope you continue enjoying it into the New year.Nicola Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506144570765694814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786182111675568241.post-44844595552156851262011-12-03T08:30:43.750+11:002011-12-03T08:30:43.750+11:00thanks for sharing; it has been great to witness! ...thanks for sharing; it has been great to witness! and those are very good questions. not that i have answers (at least not ones that should be shared publicly. ha!).aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748312825417927379noreply@blogger.com
