Contemporary Art: 'Now' or 'Never'?

c-arts02

A few months ago, I was asked to respond to a questionnaire on 'What is Contemporary Art' by C-Arts magazine (http://www.c-artsmag.com). A brief report of the questionnaire was published in C-Arts #2 (March/April 2008). The discussion is still ongoing, and I feel multiple platforms should address these issues. N.E.W.S. is one of these platforms, and hence I would like to challenge the contributors to consider the issue of 'Contemporary Art: 'Now' or 'Never'?

Below is a copy of my full (unedited) answers to the questions posed by C-Arts.

More n.e.w.s. on this to come from others, I hope...
