- Are the ideas of the Hero in society born from the accomplishments of the individual?
In so far as I understand it, yes. And within that idea lies the danger of separating the individual’s actions from the collective whole of a society…
- In a culture of self reliance how does the role of the hero play into the identification of the individual?
Self reliance manifests ultimately into the idea that we should be able to accomplish all tasks without the help of others. Of course, most people know this to be impossible.
In a culture of self reliance how does the role of the hero play into the identification of the individual? If society could be seen as a machine or mechanism what part of that mechanism would the hero play? Is there a clear division of individual from the group when it comes to the function of society, or is it that society as a whole function through a group of individuals?
A dialog begins.
In these blogs, always to be titled The Hero Discussion, i am inviting you, the public, to discuss with me your interpretations of both my writings and your own ideas of what a hero is today and how the role of the hero operates in our society (locally and/or internationally). The most recent posts will be at the top and dated.
This is to create a public dialog and exchange that leads up to the December Art Show (see below) which will then become a part of the artwork itself - a way to bring art out of the gallery without trying to undermine the gallery simultaneously. December will yield a visual manifestation of the research and conversation occurring between now and then. Please join in and be a part of this.
