The fun and problem with “best of 2015” lists
2015 December 14
It’s that time of the year for music journalists to post their “best of 2015” lists and to peruse the Grammy noms.
Art doesn’t really exist in a calendar of 12 months or 365 days. The action of creating art is timeless.Some art becomes indeed timeless; other art is famous in your neighborhood.
It really doesn’t matter what day or month it is when I visit the DIA or see a David Zinn street art piece in Ann Arbor. I feel inspired, whether it’s December 10 or January 1st.
I do like seeing my friend’s lists of their favorite albums from 2015, though. Lists offers a frame around the painting, a perspective to organize our thoughts. However, the lists aren’t the inspiration, the art is.
