I think that art which derives its impact from access to the artist's world view is making life very difficult for the viewer. This doesn't invalidate the work as art - it is just highly self-referential, self-absorbed and taken to extreme disappears up a scratched, out of focus, cross-processed derrierre. The disappearing act can be fascinating, however, once you have turned totally inside out there is no way to go but back to being the right way round again. Very frustrating, but it beats TV. ---------- > void, nowhere, meaningless, etc. You may become rich, of course, if enough > people are fooled, but then, it would definitely be art. ;-) > > Joe Berenbaum
