what is spoken in "absence"? Does "absence" equal
something 'negative' or dishonorable, etc. so
patentedly, always?  

Aren't you making a dialectic (+/-) out of this? Must
it be driven into that corner? What is the point?
Destruction? 

In fact, does anything preclude you calling for a
project regarding Iraq, etc. etc. ?

That's it?  Doesn't art do things beyond its strict
'space'? ...

It isn't one or the other.  Activism has its power,
but it isn't all. Neither is making 'art'.  Who can
say which has had a bigger effect. Did "The Jungle"
change meat production or 'activism'? Did activism
slow down vietnam? Was Hendrix' Star Spangled Banner
of absolutely no social significance in the process??

this 'statement' (?)
