Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.63,0:00:14.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why make art?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.51,0:00:16.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What do you find by doing it?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.39,0:00:18.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What does it get you?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.76,0:00:22.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I always wanted an alternative existence,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.24,0:00:23.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and by that I mean I wanted to do something
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.91,0:00:29.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I could study my own \Nsentiments and experiences.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.84,0:00:35.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I found that I could do that in relation to making things and making art in particular.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.12,0:00:37.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I did it since I was a kid,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.86,0:00:39.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it was a place that I always could go to,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.78,0:00:46.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I could concentrate and deal with problems
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.07,0:00:48.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I thought were of interest to me.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.33,0:00:51.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, if I was clear enough about
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.78,0:00:59.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what it was that I was probing and stayed with the premise of what I was probing,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.64,0:01:02.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was possible that it could also \Nbe clear to someone else.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.49,0:01:07.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it was important that it not be \Nsomething that somebody else had done.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.83,0:01:10.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think one of the things art does is
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.72,0:01:15.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it asks you to perceive what it is on its own level.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.92,0:01:18.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it can come up and grab you at any time.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.25,0:01:19.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It can be reassuring.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.59,0:01:21.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It could be exactly the opposite.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.75,0:01:23.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It could agitate you.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.14,0:01:24.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It could be something you dismiss.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.83,0:01:26.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It could be something that engages you.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.77,0:01:28.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It could be something you recall.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.47,0:01:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It could be something that leads to things
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.00,0:01:32.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that have nothing to do with what you're looking at.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.66,0:01:35.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I think, works of art engage, possibly,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.78,0:01:39.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an internal memory bank that isn't linear,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.45,0:01:43.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it can make you see \Nthe outside reality in that way, also.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.28,0:01:46.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, you probably see the world
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.05,0:01:49.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in ways that you would not have seen it
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.66,0:01:52.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if those artists had not existed.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.86,0:01:55.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And do I think that Cézanne changed
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.22,0:01:59.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how people saw a landscape in France\Nin the last century, for sure.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.64,0:02:06.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do I think Warhol changed how we see\Ncontemporary society through painting,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.06,0:02:09.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,through the media-ization of, the commodification of objects?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.72,0:02:10.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For sure.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.53,0:02:12.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you can just go through \Nthe history of art that way,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.61,0:02:14.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and immediately you conjure up something
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.94,0:02:17.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you, yourself, could not have expressed,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.73,0:02:20.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it fulfills in each of us something we lack.
