Brave New Works

So here it begins…
Week to week I’ll be checking out new art and artists, from visual arts to novels or other types of fiction to music, and will bring to you, Dear Reader, a few thoughts about it all. The purpose of this is, of course, to satiate my own thirst for new and outstanding art, while hopefully benefiting others with a proper description of my experience, something that will get you involved as directly as possible in the experience and discover new art and artists. I may also drop a few words on cool things I come across relating to art or the art experience. I’ll try to remain focused.
I feel that a lot of art has become an underground practice, stuff that’s a part of a counter-culture. I’d like to see a world where magnificent, original art is as integrated into our society as commercials and advertising. The benefit of this integration, while perhaps not immediately or empirically tangible, would broaden our scope of imagination and sophisticate our general appreciation of the world around us. We should all know brilliance; its presence can be contagious.
Okay, enough of that. I invite all to participate and I would love nothing more than to bring together a community of art lovers. Let’s get it out there.

P.S. Thanks Sid!
