The Heart of Life
Viscous haute chocolat and champagne truffles to you from all of us here at Auspicious Projects, where we're on fire dreaming of you. In the denouement of the AP.NYC.2010: Art.Chocolate.HotYoga happening, we're echoing the sentiments of Keats: “I am certain of nothing but the Holiness of the Heart's affections and the Truth of the Imagination.”
Two weeks ago, after a Magnolia Cupcake and a Moonpie, we ventured out with our most gracious host (awesomeness and attractiveness free of charge) to the MOMA to soak up the brilliance of cutting edge contemporaries and classics like unprimed canvases amped on extra frosting. In the immediate presence of Van Gogh, Monet, Klimt, Pollack, Miro, Rothko and Tim Burton, we were deeply moved to the innermost core of our being with a feeling that brings tears to the surface in the witness of beauty.
The sweetness of that afternoon at the MOMA was more than a sugar rush - it was a reminder about the importance and the power of art, especially art that stretches beyond the canvas into the embodied dynamics of our fleshy selves. "You do art when you make change that matters, and do it via a connection with an individual," writes Seth Godin.
If art changes the recipient, then every interaction has pure potential to be an artful one, and life becomes your love.life.art.work.
Something that is not only deeply personal - but interpersonal. All the ripples you make in all the small ways in which your momentary interactions - your presence - touches someone else make a difference.
