I full support the writer's center and have even donated to them, but to further splinter this site down into other non-visual art forms is a mistake in my view. It would only detract focus from something that is already last on many folks list in this town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19444064.post-40997442785808874692007-03-23T21:59:00.000-04:002007-03-23T21:59:00.000-04:00I have no strong reaction against literature. I l...I have no strong reaction against literature. I love literature and I love poetry. I also love that there is a forum for VISUAL ART IN INDIANAPOLIS. As soon as this blog starts to be about poetry, literature, theater, dance, all of the other great arts, the less interesting and pointed and focussed it's going to be. I like that people who know about and are invested in visual art in Indianapolis have a virtual place to meet. Why do we need to dilute it? Is there really not enough visual art to blog about? Most people who are invested in one art form simply don't know as much about other art forms. Folks who know a bit about everything tend not to have very incisive things to say about anything. So the prospect that this will turn into a watered down commentary on all sorts of "cultural stuff" does not make me excited.<BR/>And literature was not the point of no return. It was the departure from visual art. Duh, yes architecture is visual art. "Public art" meaning sculpture, painting, etc? Yes, it's visual art. Luckily we haven't had any music or theater postings here yet, or I would have asked what they were doing on this blog, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19444064.post-22033117653231825862007-03-22T23:17:00.000-04:002007-03-22T23:17:00.000-04:00Hmm... does that mean that "anonymous" is not goin...Hmm... does that mean that "anonymous" is not going to be posting here anymore? <BR/><BR/>But, to be friendly, I will take your point on in a different way: what is okay to talk about here?<BR/><BR/>Architecture?<BR/>"Visual Arts"?<BR/>"Public Art"?<BR/>Poetry?<BR/>Theater?<BR/>Dance?<BR/>Music (classical, pop)?<BR/><BR/>I, for one, would appreciate posts about any of those, in the right context. But, I would prefer that this blog be primarily about the visual arts here in Indy.<BR/><BR/>And, for me, the visual arts include architecture and public art (be that what it may), because I can see it when my eyes are open. <BR/><BR/>However, I do think there has been a long standing relationship between literature and 'visual art'. After all, from many a good source, I know that a lot of artists read or have read books in their lives and these books have affected them directly. And, I also am confident that many a poet has looked at 'visual art' and it has affected him or her directly. <BR/><BR/>I'm curious about 'anonymous'' strong reaction against literature. Why would that be the point of no return?Richard McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08116670530209197915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19444064.post-51034446915117048662007-03-20T15:42:00.000-04:002007-03-20T15:42:00.000-04:00I thought this was a visual arts blog.
