Spend time with art you dont like / understand

I understand the stop-at-whatever-catches-your-eye style of visiting museums and galleries but it makes me sad to see people rush through. The real joy of art is the breakthrough that occurs after engaging with a made thing. Some helpful questions to ask: -What is the title of the piece and how does it relate it what I see? -Why did I stop/hurry past? -Why is it here? Does it belong to the space or to a theme? -What does it allow me to do/see/think/play with?

opening your mind to what “art” can be

i think a lot of people still have this very conservative view of art. sure, drawing, painting, sculpture, and all of those mediums that have been seen as legitimate forms of art for thousands of years, are art. i feel like some people still view those as the ONLY legitimate forms of art. i think most people can agree we have accepted photography as art in the past century. why is our idea of what art can be, so narrow ? performance can be art, social media posting can be art, group blogging can be art, cultivating an affective commons can be art, hanging out can be art. you are no better than those who say a blue square cannot be art.

Saying “i’ll have to check that out” when a coworker recommends a podcast

I have never followed through and “checked that out”, but I am happy for them.
