too long have we asked "what is art" and have not engaged in our own systems of critical thinking in regards to the art we interact with. To be a critic in the sense that you will define what something means to you, and why something does or doesnt resonate. To view a piece critically, not just accepting it "as is" but also questioning the system in which it was created and what led or informed it's creation. Being a critic is an art in an of itself, your critique of art could resonate with other people, and bolster their own theories of art.

(I hope this doesn't come across as mean spirited. I think your comment is pretty good. But I also needed to get this out of my system)
