Document Summary
For art to accommodate diversity, it can"t simply be deined: seemingly undeinable, cannot look like x, y, or z . Art is a symbol of human agency: can be represented in radically diferent forms. Freedom is the ability to project oneself into a meaningful future. We are like art undeinable through it"s agency: imagine something and make it. Human acions need to be radical: our freedom is realized through acions. You do not get the ability to change possibiliies, only the future. You cannot radically change the art world with just your imaginaion, you need to make art: only in speciic concrete things can we change reality. There are real beings (insituions) with no impulsion to change. Change is always necessary and inevitable: absolutes give idenity and meaning/purpose to things. Not a given form but the very act of surpassing meaning/purpose: freedom is the absolute, most primary, ulimate and basic thing.
