I totally agree with your position. Moreover, my problem with critics\u2019 position is that they never take the time to hear what the public had to say. We only hear their opinions. We see the participants embodied in a work as they are represented and they have their voice there. Artists are criticized for giving these persons’ voices, but that\u2019s a semantic many times, too: artists give a platform for the expression of voice and that important and meaningful to others, it can be validating and deeply transformative. But critics cut out that voice because it is not the professional side if things. This leads to misinterpretation of and misassumptions about what that other, public part of exchange is all about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
