"Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning". Dewey
"Tell me, and I forget. Show me, and I remember. Involve me, and I understand" (Chinese proverb).
"The real questions are the ones that obtrude upon your consciousness whether you like it or not, the ones that make your mind start vibrating like a jackhammer, the ones that you "come to terms with" only to discover that they are still there. The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will.
Ingrid Bengis, Combat in the Erogenous Zone, "Man-Hating" (1973).

*Can an Aesthetic Experience be quantified?
*Am i ever to be sure the connections the public make to the work will be genuine?
*How and where do we find meaning?
*Unanswerable questions, Irreverent Questions
*Can we encourage or acquire or visual language through experience, observation,and imagination? What is my role in this process
*How can i Animate the imaginations of the public?
*How can i ensure the offering of public response are not secondary to the offering of the art it's self
*How can i bring the two works together? A celebratory event?
