Episode 45-Beauty and Darkness in ArtCris Dam, Elana Herzog,Tamara Kostianosky and Lucia Warck Meister discuss the concept of beauty in art and the fact that darkness cannot be excluded. Making art can be a way to acknowledge and transform what is not perceived to be beautiful such as emptiness, loneliness, and even the grotesque that many times is unspeakable. The process of creation allows artists to not only contemplate beautiful dreams and memories but also provide a safe space to face the darkness and perhaps even transform it into something beautiful.
