Arts malfunction. The joy of JUST BEING THERE and creating while being in
flow seems turning into a constant PRODUCING, flavoured with gleaming narcisism. So,
what is art then? What is true art?
Is art free, if it
is connected to
money? If it requieres access
to an expensive equipment making
the modern "art-making" a matter of materially priviledged and not of
those who are naturally gifted? Is art what the taste of
masses conciders to be good and 'votes' for it with their money? Does any
drawing of a child would count as art? And finally - who actually
cares, what is art? What about just BEing there?
Just to be there is for sure no virtue on the producing-consuming highway.
When is the last time you spent your day DOING NOTHING without having
bad concience? Yes, it has been carved in your brain from the very
begining, that one has to PRODUCE. In order to prove one's own existence, to earn
attention, love, prosperity, luck, happiness. They say, artists do not make an
exception - they have to produce. And if they refuse, they loose.
At least in those money making societies.
But sometimes loosing
in one game might be winning in the other one. Why produce? There are so
many nice things already created - humans and the nature bring wonders every day.
So what is lacking is not another piece of art, but peace of mind. To
get off the producing-consuming highway and allowing oneself the luxury to BE. And whatever comes out from your just being - it will be. BE.
BEE.

To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of
arts. Henry D. Thoreau
