Rick Lowe and Hyperallergic

Rick Lowe

I feel so drawn to the question Lowe was asked by a student when showcasing one of his projects, "If you're an artists, and you're creative, why can't you create a solution?" Whenever I create art that is simply aesthetically pleasing, I feel that it is lacking something, it feels unfinished. I started realizing that I wanted my art to have a greater purpose than just hanging on a gallery wall or in someone's home. I want it to create change, to inspire, to revitalize. As a MacArthur grantee, Lowe has the access to reach a large audience. I realize that my project will begin on a much smaller scale, but I see his same level of passion within myself.
