Allan Kaprow, art, attention, and living
 

Allan Kaprow: "We may see the overall meaning of art change profoundly--from being an end to being a means, from holding out a promise of perfection in some other realm to demonstrating a way of living meaningfully in this one."
 
Kaprow: "Art is simply paying attention"
 
quoted by Fremeaux and Jordan, 21 and 67, respectively
 
their spin on 65: "art [can become] a process of attending to the specific details of living"
