Bad Art - quote of the day
Anabella sent this in....we liked it so much we wanted to pass it along.
There are no excuses for Bad Art. Painters, writers, singers, actors, dancers, filmmakers, musicians are meant to fly, to push at the frontiers, to worry the edges of the imagination, to conjure beauty from the most unexpected things, to find magic in places where others never thought to look. If you limit the trajectory of the flight, if you weight their wings with society's existing notions of morality and responsibility, if you truss them up with preconceived values, you subvert their endeavor.
~Arundhati Roy
