weatherThu, Dec 3, 2009 i stand by my answer.
i believe that true art can be far more abstract than a picture, poem or song and can deliver something far more potent than an image, statement or message.
As a performance artist I've learned that the interpretation of art is relative, however I believe that a true artist is less concerned of the critique or interpretation that his/her material will receive and more with process of creation. The act of creation.
The artist is God if their expression is pure and fluid. This is an expression of Truth, regardless of the material.
I am interested in the medium of performance and improvisational art to communicate this. A performer is being witnessed in the act of creation. I think that the presence and the flow of the artist in a moment of unfiltered pure expression has an energetic resonance that breaks down the filters of others and brings them into the experience of the moment.
Think of the compassionate loving energy you feel when you're around an 'enlightened' human being.
Maybe this is idealist, but if you, as an artist or mystic or whatever have the ability to bring someone into the experience of the moment, is that not a profound catalyst for change?
Art brings awareness which thus brings change?
