Cate: How would you describe the importance of art right now?
Dan: Life in the Time of COVID-19. Even this increasingly common way of referring to now, this precarious and unsure time, is taken from art, Gabriel García Márquez' 1985 novel Life in the Time of Cholera. Art is often the way people define and describe our world, people paraphrasing films and books and paintings, arts related phrases entering the lexicon, and so on. For artists, art is the way they make sense of the world, communicate, define the human condition, the time they/we live in, comment on political, philosophical, and spiritual ideas.
