You mean Boston?

...

I'm a big dummy but I think art exists at the local level where money is just another social lubricant like who you know and what kinda beer you brought to the party. I reckon nothing that you can buy at Wal-Mart is something that you could consider art without taking off your $400 emo eyeglasses.

I don't think the "market" produces art. They produce consumable goods that they can trade for our money. That's what they do best.

And I don't think you fix it.

I think you just have to know where to find it. It's like: "Don't try to bottle Jesus and give him to the masses. Those that want Jesus will find him."
