 Is art a purely private quest 
for whatever the artist 
may have in mind 
(beauty? serenity? an undefined 
and maybe undefinable 
search, without 
predefined target 
you can aim for?
a kind of non-verbal truth?)?

Is it a form of commitment or 
"engagement"?
So that being an artist 
would mean you are engagé 
[committed], 
whether you want to or not?

Can art play a didactic, 
illuminating role in society,
can it enlighten 
(a) the artist engaged in the process
of producing it  or 
(b) the individual opening up 
to a work of art
or (c) both?

We suggest that we widen the concept 
of art to include 
not only painting, print-making, 
drawing, sculpture, 
installations etc., 
but also writing, dance, 
film, video, performances, 
you name it... 
 

ART IN SOCIETY is a project 
for a Democratic Internet Journal 
for its readers and by its readers.

We believe that it is necessary 
to use the internet 
because of its as yet insufficiently explored 
possibilities 
of increased two-way communication.
We welcome contributions 
and criticism as well as 
suggestions for vital topics
by our readers.
