Got a few books from Half Letter Press the other day. They came with a bookmark with this inspirational statement. Thought Id share. The 4th, 5th and 7th seem relevant to what weve been talking about, though all the points are great: -- WE STRIVE TO BUILD AN ART PRACTICE THAT: Makes the distinction between art and other forms of creativity irrelevant Builds and depends upon mutually supportive relationships Tests ideas without waiting for permission or invitation Champions the work of those who are frequently excluded, under-recognized, marginal, non-commercial, experimental, and/or socially and politically provocative Puts money and cultural capital back into the work of other artists and self-publishers Makes opportunities from large museums and institutions more inclusive by bringing lesser-known artists in through collaborations or advocacy Insists that artists who achieve success or renown devote more time and energy toward creating supportive social and economic infrastructures for others
