You're not just this person who's from your own specific experiences, but the collective experience of what makes you who you are because of time.
People look at film in a gallery, and if they walk out after two minutes they know they haven't seen the whole work. But then people look at a painting for two minutes and think they've seen it. Certain paintings are made to be consumed fast. But some require a slowed-down time. You have to go back to them.
I'm really interested in the nondefinitive element of abstraction.
Race always comes up in the conversation of Detroit.
