Loved this man. Listened to the whole thing, and what a fascinating discussion on art, and what constitutes artistic expression or vulgarity. I'm not sure there's a firm, static line on that. But it's just as interesting to consider when does a thing go too far?
Nonetheless, I tend to agree that the acceptance or approval of an audience shouldn't be the guardrails of the artist, otherwise truly great art would be too timid to come into existence. People would be too afraid to be honest in their creative expression. We need bold crazy people to take us further than we're comfortable going.
Lastly, and less related to your content directly, there is something inherently hilarious about you reading a think piece on the role of the art within the human experience as you sit next to a window with Paris in the background. It's so on the nose that it's like brilliantly funny. Bon garçon.
Thanks so much. I have talked to some folks about what I wrote and it's interesting to consider peoples 'lines'. My main thing what will be missed when the boundaries get smaller. But also, its fun to figure out creative ways to cross the line. Which is what I think Natalie did, she figured out a theatrically compelling way to do some crazy stuff. Also, I am writing this comment from a cafe in paris, looking out the window at a guy eating a baguette on the street. No Joke. Thx for reading and commenting it means a lot!
