"Making Art as if the World Mattered"- Collaborative Project

Read chapters 7 and 8 from Suzi Gablik's "The Re-Enchantment of Art".

A number of collaborative artists are discussed in these chapters-- for each one (listed below), please pick out and share one quote/section of the text that you found most interesting or thought-provoking about that person's work, or about your own thought process for this project.

Share your quotes and observations as a response to this blog entry. You may need to sign in or create a google account to do this.

To make things quicker for you, you can copy and paste the following list of artists and add your quote to it: this is the order they are discussed in the readings and you must take at least one quote from each section of the reading:
