One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

cliffjumping. It gave me such a kick when I jumped from 20m into the water.

Teach, Learn, Share

The art world has become the most glamorous wilderness imaginable,
bewitching and numbing at the same time. It may be overstating the
case to say that the future of art is in the balance. But most of the
artists to whom I talk believe that we are living in very dark times.
If artists and audiences can confront the full extent of their
alienation, maybe then people can begin to shake off that sense of
hopelessness and things can start to turn around. If this is going to
happen, it will involve a lot of small acts of courage, all of them
animated by a willingness to reject conventional taste and
conventional wisdom all along the line. The artists who are most
deeply committed to what they are doing in the studio have to
reestablish contact with the audience that hates the hype.
