Not because anybody's evil, but just because of the way the world works, we've made it
really hard for teachers and kids to have that kind of joyous, wondrous,
liberating experience in a lot of schools and classrooms.
The artists themselves, their
experiences and discoveries, are an important element of this spirited exhibition: The first thing I noticed was that the work exemplifies how being outside of one's own (American) system, yet not
really within another (French) system, is tremendously
liberating for an artist.
