i wish to say and joseph beuys.

The i wish to say blog is a project by Shannon Oring to get peoples voices heard. she has a type writer set up on a page for people to dictate what they think the president should know, she then sends them to the whitehouse. To this dates she says that more than 2000 postcards have been sent to the whitehouse. The website is very interesting to explore and if you look further you can find other projects like the "creative fix" where a bunch of people are taped saying in one minute what they would do t fix the country.
Joseph bueys was an interesting artist, perhaps most well known for explaining art to a dead rabbit, which is both strange and beautiful. He had kindof a naturalistic statement in a lot of his pieces
This kindof got me talking with my room mate about insanity and artists and why it's ok for artist to be crazy and not committed to a looney bin and what we came up with is that most off people are artistically inclined but the only people to be able to live real lives are the ones who do something with their talent and make it a career. Some serial killers believe they are artists and who's to argue? but they are not able to contain their art to even the edge of accepted insanity and are therefor not celebrated.
