To get the idea of the concept, maybe. But to get the idea of the artistic experience? Absurd.

THIS is the sort of reductio ad absurdum situation that purely conceptual "art" can lead to. If the entire weight of the art can be summarized in the writings about the art, then where's the art?

If the real meat of your work is in your program notes/explanations/justifications, then why call yourself a composer/painter/sculptor?

That particular breed of artist is worth absolutely nothing to me.
