AR:
How would you define the chances and needs of art in the social society you live in?
SC:
I think art produces added value/s for a society. For me, Art is some kind like “Believe” and “Religion”. I always use art for meditation on myself or for others. But like international countries all over the world, when this question goes out to the “general public”, it seems to be too complicated to find out the answer and very hard to announce that we really need art! And Art is so important for our society. If Art has such an importance, why some big art institutes in the rich countries had to be closed down? Many good artists have to find other jobs and cannot be full time-artists. All people whom I have had interviews with (including “seniors” who have been going in the arts field for a long time - artists, curators and directors) - most of them cannot say that they are very confident about the situation themselves.
