hi ja,
I suppose maybe this argument is linked to the theory of "art world" by 
somebody (just forgot the name) ... maybe jsa knows (because he has already 
used the word "art world" before...).

But my attitude is different although I understand the theory of "art world."
I want to creat something which I call art, even if nobody except me appreciate 
as art.  I called this my attitude "art fundamentalism" before.
(Note again: the nuance of word "fundamentalism" is a little bit different between
in english and in japanese. ...Maybe close to "principalism" though I do not know
whether this word exist in English...)
