Art And Ownership
Commodity: something bought and sold.
. . .
A child dances spontaneously.
A child dances spontaneously and other children are moved to join, and dance.
A child dances spontaneously, beautifully. The dance is captured, sold, and broadcast.
The dance is now an expression of joy, and a commodity. To some this change transforms it into art.
. . .
Buying and selling is the transaction of seeking ownership and advantage.
Art that is freely available is not scarce, exclusive, nor the subject of special offers.
People who encounter public art and have money are on the same level playing field as those who do not.
Emotion and thought is not focused on the acquisition of art, but on its experience.
Art belongs in us rather than to us.
I posses art on the inside, not my outside.
