“What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn’t everyone’s life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?”
-Michel Foucault

Reunion
There’s to be a reunion of my college this weekend. I’m simultaneously nervous, terrified, and really excited. I’m sure there will be people there I haven’t seen in years as well as several strangers.
It’s going to be an interesting experience to engage with people with whom my only shared experience is that we attended the same college at some point.
It feels too soon, and also as though I’ve somehow become impossibly old, to already be having a reunion.
Caution: Steps
“Work on good prose has three steps: a musical stage when it is composed, an architectonic one when it is built, and a textile one when it is woven.”
-Walter Benjamin
