On a down day, artists have to look out, because all art can seem pointless at times. It can seem especially pointless when there's a big problem happening, like a pandemic, and especially pointless in a culture that over-values productivity.
I think this is backwards. I think art moves us forward in ways that I can't really understand yet. It makes valuable connections out of sheer accident that otherwise would take years to make. It's sometimes all that is left over when a bustling culture moves on.
I'll get back to you on this.
