Krzysztof Wodiczko and the meaning of art

So last night I went to Krzysztof Wodiczko's show at the ICA - Out of here - The Veteran's Project. So worth seeing. Afterwards he talked with veterans including someone from the SMFA. I have never seen a more humble or sensitive artist. I guess he would have to be to do the kind of work he does. It was very moving.

I don't have enough time to really talk about it here, but one thing he said really spoke to me and to my last post about the responsibility of an artist. He said something. He talked about how it is up to an artist to heal us from numbness. Wow... that is part of what I was trying to get at!
