This statement I found hard to comprehend for some time. I'll start with Art. Art is like the handicapped child of the world, people work with it and hope that it will come to fruition at some point but all are unsure how so. Art in the past has had a purpose, the works with religious and biblical references were used to aid the church in altering its subjects perceptions. Portraiture was used for posterity and to demonstrate ones importance. The paintings of Claude Monet are beautiful which is enough reason for me.
Today the art forum tries to convince (itself mostly) that it is a powerful force, bringing about social improvement. Art can only every be used as supplement for altering models of thinking (in general) and this is where it stops. As it is people thoughts, actions and words thats really change things. Art will always be confined to a supplementary position.
Indifference is ironic because indifference is recognizably a greater investment into something. Its the choice of maintaining a distance towards a thing because one does not fully agree, or doesn't like the appearance of been in unconsidered agreement. But really it is just a slightly altered take on the same situation and thats what really makes it ironic, its a redefining of the same situation. Indifference is really just slight difference.
