Instead of more words for work, how about we just eliminate the concept, entirely.

More words for play, that’s what we need.

Yes you are so right! I always have trouble writing…not repeating what I am trying to say!

My trusty Thesaurus is always on my desk:)

Have a wonderful weekend!

i am hoping for an evolution in the entire field of art criticism .. it is far too inbred, and is its own audience, has lost connection with a larger human context, and maybe now its only function is filling the space between ads in art magazines.

I just got back from a 2 week vacation – we spent one week on the French/Spanish border, and took a drive to Bilbao to visit the Guggenheim. One of my new favorite artists – Juan Munoz had this to say about works of art…”I would say that what interests me about the theater is that no reply is possible. When the curtain falls, you leave. All works of art should have the same quality of not admitting a reply…” Of course, that’s from the visitor’s perspective. For us, as the writers – you’re right – it’s a lot harder coming up with the right words…I’ve got my fingers crossed for you that your muse will whisper the right words in your ear – and they’ll be so perfect that there is nothing else left to be said.

Yep, I hear you! ‘Pieces’ gets put to work a good bit… because it works quite well
And don’t get me started on amazing adjectives!

compositions, pieces, interpretations, approaches? When in doubt, break out the niche nouns, haha. I know that when I’m writing, I get stuck on the same words over and over. It’s amazing how many times I use the word ‘amazing.’
