Our life is our continuous art project.
Interviewee: Mary Jane Jacob
So I think we need to go back to these essential understandings, back to something more essential about where is art and where is art experience located in the world, not what one critic says is the experience of social practice is vs. another critic. There is an energy around social practice art right now, so we need to harness that and keep it going. So we need to relocate for ourselves what art does and why art matters. Dewey tries to explain that by when he says that art happens with and without professional art-world artists, and with or without conventional art objects. You can make art happen in your life and your life can be your art practice. Now if we want to take understanding and use it as a way of developing and living our life, then our life becomes our continuous art project.
