Art and Fear: Fear about others

Art usually emerges in a way that leaves no space for others. Critisisim is part of this fear, which is something understadable, as the art word is demanding in what they expect from artists. Our need of community creates a fear of being “singled” out. For the artists,this translates to their art not being perceived as art, and instead it is defined as craft. Again, I personally have a lot of problems with the concept of craft, because it looks down on something that is valuable because of arbitrary standards. The need of approval gives a big amount of power to the audience.
