The Challenge of "Culture"

[€uroMeinke]

In chatting some more about this last night, I realized I seldom do any "research" before accessing a work. Rather, I come to a work and it inspires me to learn more about it, place it into context, learn about the influences, etc. I guess I'm just curious in that way.

Maybe this also points out different ways of thinking. When we went to the MOCA exhibit, some people would read the catalogue first before viewing the art, to get a better understanding of what they are about (much like the pre-concert talks). Whereas I looked at the art first, and read the copy later.
