-I was talking with my dad about this book on philosophy with the Harry Potter series. The conversation turned to philosophy in general, and then I realized that philosophy can be seen as egocentric.
-The conversation turned to art, since I said that Luke said that art can be seen as egocentric, and then my dad said that he doesn't really like the art that comments on other art because it's confusing. I could see his point, because there's a fair amount of art that's "inside joke" art...the general population is confused ("what is this BS?") and the art crowd is all "Ohhh, I see how this relates to that watch maker who was the grandson of this famous artist. How clever!"
I guess art can have a selective audience.
---Next up -> STOMP. I saw it during Thanksgiving break (but I don't have time to blog about it right now)
-GHANDI: The movie
-Making a cabaret song
I think your dad and I would be in agreement on art that is based on some sort of "inside joke" and that the audience involvement with the art either requires knowledge of the joke or a plaque out in front to describe it. I hate stuff like that.
