some of the presentations, there was discussion of urgency, and being in 
situations where the sense of urgency to create was hightened by the 
immediate political climate.  We talked that this type of "reactivity" does 
not always produce the most sophisticated art- because there is not the 
luxury of time.  But, when you have the opportunity of time, that cultivation 
of artistic integrity can bring about true freedom.  The glory of art is an 
artist truly prepared. >>
