artist statement.

Somewhere along the line we’re supposed to figure out that one medium can’t do another’s chores. For instance, a written artist statement can’t stand in for a performative song and dance number. And yet the attempt, however clumsily made or especially if it’s clumsily made can be better than if everything played its assigned role, spoke it’s own language, did what it was best at doing.
