Community.

If all art builds communities. It gives identity to communities. It gives emotion and expression to individuals. Then -isms builds exclusive communities. like fuckin Bro-ism is community represented by Journey, Kansas, Chicago, and that shit. Hipsterism is built around Yo La Tengo. Etc Etc.
The monied artist elite is a community built around picasso's and Damien Hirsts.
Can i build a community bigger than an -ism. Can i ignore labels and -isms. Can I be penultimately diverse. Can i be everything but still be exactly me? Can i tear down the elite and have the community built around my art be human beings? The internet might make this possible. It is my ambition to be exactly me. precisely me. But i believe i can make something that raises and elevates everyone. How Naive. But it the dream that i cling to at night.
