Good art is self aware. This means that the works' being is true to its concept, construction, history, and it's maker. The work must be deliberate in these sections or it fails. That is to say that the construction can be poor if it follows with the concept. The piece can be void of history if the construction fulfills the concept.
objects that are honestly in the world
rough quote "make a piece of art-want it to be sincerely, honestly, responsibly, in the world. to have an impact" to what extent can we affect our world, should we participate? does our opinion matter? language art speaks doesnt take the world for granted-the world is a model, that can be manipulated. reality can change. if existence is a construction it can be renegotiated.
