“ The artist, artwork, the arts institution, or art vehicle has nearly always been cast in the role of bestowing... Is there another equation for art in which both artist and audience each give and receive, in equal or unequal parts? And if so, don’t we need to consider more fully the identities of the recipients of the art experience since they play an important role too, in this process. Acknowledging, identifying, meeting the audience face-to-face, we begin to eliminate the barriers of distance, difference, and power that anonymity otherwise allows.”
“… art is the means of facilitating a dialogue or exchange in which all parties have something to contribute, and again. Everyone is in possession of something valuable and it is critical to respect their knowledge, as we gain from it in order to ensure that it will not be expoited, coopted, or devalued, once offered. A mutual relationship to facilitate generosity has often, for me, taken the form of listening, speaking, and reflecting.”
