Question:
What does “art” mean to you?
Mouli Cohen:
Art is creative expression. It
ʼ
s taking a lookdeep inside you and translating that feeling into materialform. It
ʼ
s not always emotional of course. Smart art exists,especially today, and some of that is the best art. You mightin fact say conceptual art is the purest form of art. In someways it is most like the first forms of art, cave paintings, inthat conceptual art strives to break down our idea of howsomething can be represented.
